Candido Portinari (1903-1962)
C_ndido Portinari (in full: C_ndido Torquato Portinari) (Brodowski, December 29, 1903 - Rio de Janeiro, February 6, 1962) was a Brazilian painter. He was born on a coffee farm in the interior of the state of S_o Paulo and spent his childhood in the small town Brodowski. Like many Brazilians at the time, his parents were Italian immigrants. As a descendant of a poor family, he only attended primary school. Nevertheless, from childhood he showed his artistic vocation and his low previous education did not prevent him from acquiring a place in 1918 at the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes (ENBA) in Rio de Janeiro. In 1928 he finished first in a competition and won a trip to Paris where he would stay until 1930. In the year of his return he met 19-year-old Uruguayan Maria Victoria Martinelli with whom he would share the rest of his life. In order to support his young family, he started painting portraits in 1931. In 1935, his work CAF_ took part in an exhibition at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, where it received an honorable mention. The painting shows a coffee plantation common in the region where he lived. He became a member of the Partido Comunista Brasileiro and ran for senatorship in 1947. Due to the persecution of Communists, he had to flee to Uruguay shortly afterwards. He returned to Brazil in 1951 but would suffer from ill health for the last 10 years of his life. Portinari died of lead poisoning at the age of 58. He was preparing a major exhibition of 200 works at the invitation of the Municipality of Milan. The lead compounds in his paint ultimately proved fatal to him. His work can be found in the Museu de Arte Moderna, the Museu de Arte de S_o Paulo and the UN headquarters in New York.
