I'm not a big fan of cubism (maybe a little fan). I like "Burrinho Correndo" and "Gladiolus" (Palmas de Santa Rita) and 'A Estudante Russa" the best... Her opus "A Boba" (The Idiot) not so much, perhaps because it is too irreverent. For the most part I would have expected a more vibrant color pallette... but maybe that's what set her apart. Still, quite a revolutionary in the Brasilian art scene.

Anita- At that time the Brazilian Modernists were enamoured with the most recent French artist trends: cubism, dadaism, surrealism. They managed however to give it the typical ironic or irreverent Brazilian twist which you spotted in "A Boba" (I think thatīs the meaning of "Tupi or not tupi, that's the question"). Thatīs what I like about it.
MB-Very delicate paintings but Iīd rather not comment on the husband of this lady

Mary Sidney-"she stretched the boundaries of what was possible for a woman and became a role model for seventeenth-century women writers"- Very interesting indeed. Had never heard of her before.

Love "Ode to Joy". re: AA - so accomplished and did not reach his 50th birthday. re: Mahler's "Des Knaben Wunderhorn" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXVDmBmk1ss - interesting composition from a collection of popular folk poems... though curious about your note "(only video I found with translation to English)"... Perhaps a link copied after the previous piece finished ? Also went to wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Mahler for further background... fascinating.

Kurosawa- I think the whole film is in the internet for free now. Dersu Uzala is very lyrical too.
Ishiguro- I like him. I read A Pale View of Hills and The Remains of the Day
