Lovers of modern art, particularly of cubism and Klee and Kandinsky, will enjoy a visit to the Segall museum. Born in the Jewish Ghetto of Vilnius in Lithuania in 1891, Segall started his painting career in Europe. His work is similar to Klee and Kandinsky, cubist and increasingly abstract and geometric. Segall moved to Brazil in 1923; the museum that now exhibits his work was also his residence from 1932 until his death in 1957. With the exception of some sculptures, his work consists mostly of pen drawings, watercolors, graphite, and oil paintings. No English signs. Allow for 1 hour.
