José Oswald de Andrade Souza ( January 11 , 1890 – October 22 , 1954 ) was a Brazilian Poet and Polemicist . He was born and spent most of his life in São Paulo . Andrade was one of the founders of Brazilian Modernism and a member of the Group of Five, along with Mário De Andrade , Anita Malfatti , Tarsila Do Amaral and Menotti Del Picchia . He participated in the Week Of Modern Art (''Semana de Arte Moderna''). Andrade is best known for his . Born into a wealthy family, Andrade used his money and connections to support numerous modernist artists and projects. He sponsored the publication of several major novels of the period, produced a number of Experimental Plays , and supported several painters, including Tarsila do Amaral, with whom he had a long affair, and Lasar Segall . His role in the modernist community was made somewhat awkward, however, by his feud with Mário de Andrade, which lasted from 1929 (after Oswald de Andrade published a pseudonymous essay mocking Mário for effeminacy) until Mário de Andrade's premature death in 1945 .
