Summary: | This article analyses children's art exhibitions organized by the
Polish educator and artist Emma Kleè Koch (1904-1975), who
lived in Curitiba, Brazil. These exhibitions were held as part of the
actions by the Arts Education Department of the Education and
Culture Secretariat of Paraná State (1949-1952), under the
administration of Erasmo Pilotto, an intellectual and educator who
identified with the ideals of the New School trends. Using official
documents, exhibition signature lists, government projects,
government platform, newspaper articles and other writings of the
educator as sources, we seek to detect the relationships that
pervade the idea of modernity and are at the confluence between
the fields of politics, education and art.
