Zusammenfassung
This work studies through art the figure of the Northeastern retirante of Brazil, emigrated preferably towards São Paulo during the first half of the twentieth century, who was treated in the painting of two Brazilian artists: Cicero Dias and Cândido Portirani. We establish the connections of both painters with Spanish artists such as Pablo Picasso or Salvador Dalí, as well as the influence that Spanish art could exert on them directly or indirectly, visiting the Spanish National Museum of El Prado and specifically the work of Francisco de Goya. This amalgam of experiences would lead to the creation of a particular iconography of the retirante through the symbolic language created by each one of the painters of this essay. We completed the study with the presence of the retirante in the Brazilian literature, which reinforces the constant crossing between visual arts and literature.
