- Summary:
- The São Paulo Pinacoteca, museum of the São Paulo State Secretariat for Culture and Creative Economy, opens the 2021 program with an exhibition on Fayga Ostrower, one of the most outstanding artists of the 20th century. The exhibition Fayga Ostrower- Tangible Imagination, curated by Carlos Martins and sponsored by Bradesco, will be on display from February 1st at Estação Pinacoteca and will present, in 130 works, an overview of one of the pioneers of the Abstract engraving in Brazil. Self-taught, innovative and multiple in its achievements, the public will be able to appreciate the plurality of works related to literature, prints, architecture, expanding the traditional limits of woodcut and metal engraving techniques, creating a very particular vocabulary. The exhibition, which is part of the celebrations for the centenary of Fayga's birth, is organized by the interests that guided her concerns. At first, the Formation Years, where the use of literary narratives by the artist who was inspired by books to create images and improve her learning to print prints is visible. And even being in the character of artistic experimentation, some series ended up being discovered and published. This is the case of an edition of the work O tenement, from 1948, which includes the illustration of twelve engravings by Fayga, made in 1944. Soon, her works are highlighted and the exhibition will bring some copies, including those commissioned by publishers, such as the illustrations for the works Invenção de Orfeuʺ and Terra Uselessʺ, where Fayga was even responsible for the cover.
