(Brodosqui, 1903 - Rio de Janeiro, 1962) Brazilian painter. Coming from a poor family of Italian immigrants, from a very early said his artistic. At 15 years, to improve their training, moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he lived the rest of his life. Failed the entrance examination at the National School of Fine Arts and decided to enroll in the School of Arts and Crafts.
Finally, he went to the Fine Arts, where he completed his studies. He was a pupil of Joao Batista da Costa, Rodolfo Albuquerque Chambeland Lucilius, who followed with interest the portraits of the artist.
Early in his career was strongly influenced by the painter, sculptor and engraver Swede Anders Zorn and the English painter Ignacio Zuloaga. He demonstrated the influence of the latter in his portrayal of poet Olegario Mariano, with whom he won the trip abroad at the National of Fine Arts in 1928. In some of his portraits influenced by Modigliani said. He knew very well the work of Pablo Picasso's Guernica was the work that marked him most. Agreed with him to make a large painting, with an expressionist tendency, and by the dramatic force of his murals and the importance of man in all his work. Although it was a very colorful painter, alternating cold and monochrome colors.
With the prize won in 1928, Portinari traveled to Europe, he settled in Paris and visited several European cities. It was a time of production but very little comment in museums and galleries, where he could study the great painters, learn about new trends in painting and, above all, discover the fresco.
returned to Brazil in 1930 with a strong desire to paint the reality of his people with a new pictorial language. Many of the commissions of murals done in this period were made by the dictator Getulio Vargas, which did not prevent him dramatically portray the social and human reality of the country. Portinari painting was always in the tragedy of the peoples and disadvantaged people, is a constant presence of the worker, peasant, children, women. Abstract power worked only as learning experience and although it was influenced, figuration was always more strong in him. Visit this
