CÂNDIDO PORTINARI
Brodósqui, SP, 1903.Rio de Janeiro, RJ, 1962.
The son of Italian immigrants who worked on coffee plantations in the São Paulo hinterland, Portinari displayed an early taste for painting when he collaborated in the decoration of the chapel in his hometown, at the request of an itinerant artist. He moved to Rio de Janeiro in 1918, entering the former National School of Fine Arts. He competed in various exhibitions sponsored by the National School of Fine Arts, winning several awards at the outset of his artistic career. In 1928, he received the Travel Abroad prize, and settled in Paris, from where he was to make several trips to the main European capitals.On returning to Brazil, he withdrew from the National School of Fine Arts, seeking to set more authentic parameters for his art. He went through a difficult phase in his professional career, until he established himself as a major artist by winning the Honors Award at an exhibition sponsored by the Carnegie Institute in New York City in 1935 for his painting "Café" [Coffee], today in the collection of the National Museum of Fine Arts, in Rio de Janeiro. From that time onwards, several commissions were made by domestic and foreign institutions. Currently his works are on display in museums in many countries around the world.As a painter, regarded as one of the most representative Brazilian artists, he managed to achieve a fecund fusion of his art with Brazil's cultural and historical dimensions. The artist sought to capture all peculiarities of the Brazilian people through an anthropological vision of the different regions of the country, as exemplified by the twelve panels in the Central Bank collection.
