RESUMO
Rockwell Kent s trip to Brazil in November, 1937, raises a series of new issues both in Brazil and the United States. Thus, this thesis aims at pointing out and analyzing all the implications preceding his nine-day trip to Brazil, as a political observer; besides, it also includes all the facts stemming from his stay, such as the making of his "Brazil and Vargas" report and the beginning of his friendship with Candido Portinari. Furthermore, this thesis studies the consequences of Rockwell Kent s trip to Brazil, based on the analysis of the documents obtained from the Smithsonian Institution, in Washington D.C, and the Portinari Project, in Rio de Janeiro. Therefore, this thesis presents a huge field of study in which it is possible to perceive the implications of such a trip within a larger scope, involving Brazil and the United States in the intellectual, economic, political and cultural panorama from 1937 to 1955
