Arnaldo Pedroso d'Horta

Special retrospective dedicated to Arnaldo Pedroso d'Horta (b. Brazil 1914-1973) presenting more than 150 works. The exhibition includes oil paintings; engravings; projects, book illustrations and, especially, drawings where Pedroso d'Horta not only used "fountain pen" to draw organic shapes and abstract figures of animals, birds, etc., but also created works on paper cut with scalpel, used cork and leather, as well as his prints and ceramic panels. "There was a certain pleasure in craft making", says Curator Vera d ' Horta, critic, historian and daughter of the artist on her father's work ethics.
