Willys de Castro
註釋Catalogue comprising about 130 pieces that border between painting and sculpture, the "active objects" of Willys de Castro (b. Brazil 1926-1988) created over the course of an artistic career that lasted nearly 40 years (1952-1988) represent one of the most important examples of Brazilian neo-concretism. After his early stages as abstract-geometric paintings, the artist began to create works using wooden vertical boards painted with geometric shapes on both sides that require the viewer to the circle them to observe the game between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional effects. Three years ago, the paulista museum specialists, as the historian Regina Teixeira de Barros explains "discussed categories, systematized terminology and established cataloguing parameters for the work of Willys de Castro. The endeavor involved reclassifying works, studies and documents, according to the nature of each of them. The exhibition "Willys de Castro" is the result of this silent concerted effort."--P. 10. The selection includes 58 pieces from the holdings of the Pinacoteca (56 donated to the institution in 2001, by painter Hércules Barsotti (1914-2010), fellow artist and life-companion of the artist), and pieces from the Instituto de Arte Contemporanea (IAC), the Collection Patricia Phelps Cisneros, of MASP and diverse private collections.
