O MovementGreen yellow or Green-Yellow Movement is a group that emerged in the first phase of Modernism and was formed by Menotti del Picchia (1892-1988), Plínio Salgado (1895-1988), Guilherme de Almeida (1890-1969) and Cassiano Ricardo (1895-1974).
Summary
After the Week of Modern Art, in 1922 - a landmark of Modernism in Brazil - artists began to present new proposals for disseminated art through publications, especially the manifestos that marked the First Phase of Modernism: Pau-Brasil, Verde-Amarelo, Regionalista and Anthropophagy.

Critical and sarcastic, Oswald de Andrade (1890-1954) frequently satirized his social - bourgeois - and academic roots. At the same time, he preached nationalism along a primitivist line, valuing our historical past, but always tempered by criticism.
Due to these characteristics, in 1924 Oswald de Andrade wrote the Manifesto da Poesia Pau-Brasil - afrancesado - as pointed out by the Green-Yellow Movement that was emerging in São Paul.
Thus, the emergence of the Green-Yellow Movement takes place as a reaction to the nationalist model advocated by writer Oswald de Andrade. The Green-Yellow Movement advocated excessive patriotism and had a clear Nazi-fascist tendency.
In 1927 the Green-Yellow Movement became the SchoolgivesTapir, or Grupo Anta, and in 1928 it was the turn of Oswald de Andrade, in partnership with Tarsila do Amaral (1886-1973) and Raul Bopp (1898-1984), to launch the Antropofagia movement.

Main features
Ufanismo is the characteristic that best defines the Escola da Anta movement. It is an exaltation of Brazil and, at the same time, hostility to foreign origins. Fascist ideology - based on racism - was also present in this manifesto.
Escola da Anta received this name as a representation of Brazilian nationality, given the mythical context of this animal in Tupi culture - the main Brazilian indigenous tribe.
