In the words of art critic Guy Brett, "This was a figure for the process by which Brazil 'swallowed' various world cultures in order to create its own, not in a predatory fashion but in a spirit of anti-colonialist rebellion." Andrade's oral metaphor took such hold almost half a century later that artist Helio Oiticica would define the resistance of Brazilian culture to external influences-its ability to ingest other cultural information instead of succumbing to some international style--as a kind of "super-cannibalism." And Lygia Clark considers the con cept overtly in works such as Cannibalismo (Cannibalism) and Baba antropofagica (Cannibalistic slobber; both 1973).
