Some brazilian folklore for you guys ( I love folklore creatures!)

Iara is the brazilian mermaid, she lives on the bottom of lakes, and at the midnight she comes to the surface to sing and brush her long hair. With her songs, she hypnotizes young men. So she can catch and drown them.

Tropical, Anita Malfatti (1917).

Instead of the classic white nobleman, Caucasian, Anita represents in her painting the “real Brazilian” of her time, a mixed-race woman.

Brava gente brasileira! Longe vá... temor servil! Ou ficar a pátria livre Ou morrer pelo Brasil.

Brave Brazilian people! Far off go... servile fear! Either be the Fatherland free, or die for Brazil.
