Abstract
It is precisely at the moment of urbanization in Brazil, when people leave the countryside to the city in a frantic rhythm towards the assembly lines of the factories, there arises modernism, that is, the expressionist revolutionary movement, which was considered the moment of the transformation of art. It is through art, with critical expressions and denunciations of social injustices, that Candido Portinari, in 1944, presented to the world the artwork Crianca Morta, with the purpose of denouncing the miseries of miserableness, which provoked repercussion in the society at the time. When asked, Portinari replied that looking at the world, was only what he saw: misery and desolation.
