Glênio Bianchetti (Bagé RS 1928 - Brasília DF 2014)
Printmaker, painter, illustrator, tapestry maker, teacher and draftsman.
Glênio Alves Branco Bianchetti began his artistic studies in Bagé in the 1940s, together with Glauco Rodrigues (1929 - 2004), under the guidance of José Moraes (1921 - 2003). In 1949, he entered the Instituto de Belas Artes de Porto Alegre. In 1951, together with Glauco Rodrigues and Danúbio Gonçalves (1925 - 2019), he founded the Clube de Gravura de Bagé, later merged into the Clube de Gravura de Porto Alegre, a group producing socially engaged art, which also included Carlos Scliar (1920 - 2001) and Vasco Prado (1914 - 1998). In the 1950s, Bianchetti produced woodcuts and linocuts on themes related to labor and regional customs. From the 1960s on, he worked mainly in painting, lithography and metal engraving. In 1962, he began teaching drawing and painting at the newly opened Universidade de Brasília - UnB, where he remained until 1965, when he was dismissed by the military regime. In the early 1970s, he helped create the Museu de Arte de Brasília and took part in projects focused on art education. In 1988, he was reinstated at UnB. Between 1996 and 1997, a retrospective of the Grupo de Bagé was organized, with exhibitions in several state capitals. In 1999, he was honored with a retrospective of his 50-year career at the Palácio do Itamaraty in Brasília. In 2004, the book Glenio Bianchetti, by José Paulo Bertoni, was published.
Critical Commentary
Glênio Bianchetti began his career in the 1940s as a member of the Grupo de Bagé. In 1947, he went to Porto Alegre, where he studied at the Instituto de Belas Artes. He took part in founding the Clube de Gravura de Porto Alegre, a group producing socially engaged art that dealt with the reality of the poorest classes, labor and regional customs. In the 1950s, Bianchetti worked mainly in woodcut and linocut, depicting workers in brickworks or boys playing, usually in open spaces. Noteworthy are the quality of the drawing and the refined use of contrasts between light and dark, without intermediate gradations, as in Sempre Vivas [Everlasting Flowers] (1952) or in Mulher Costurando [Woman Sewing] (1957), in which the influence of Expressionism can be seen.
From the 1960s on, the artist worked mainly in painting and, in printmaking, in lithography and metal engraving. In painting, Bianchetti's main themes are the human figure, still life and landscape. In the picture Paisagem de Bagé [Bagé Landscape] (1949), he employs great formal simplification, gestural brushwork and a chromatic range that lends the work a certain dramatic character. His paintings reveal admiration for Cubism and an interest in abstraction. From the 1970s on, the artist used graphic marks alongside patches of color, in works with strongly contrasting colors, as in Moça Lendo [Girl Reading] (1973).
Critiques
"Having begun to paint in 1944, in Rio Grande do Sul, Glênio Bianchetti aligned himself with Expressionism from the very start of his artistic activity, when the Second World War still engulfed the whole world in its flames and convulsions. The young painter's connection with this artistic current, so deeply representative of the dramatic and manifold vicissitudes and emotions experienced by man throughout this century, thus became natural. (...) In various compositions, the artist exploits the intensity of color while seeking to synthesize the forms of men, women or animals. In other pictures, there is a marked abandonment of the realistic spatiality of the image in favor of the chromatic scheme, laid out in broad flat areas of color. This process, incidentally, is common among the expressionists. In his search to simplify the human figure, the artist frequently resorts to geometry, in an evident commitment to the Cubist line, as in the work of several European painters. At other times, he uses abstraction. (...) As it moves away from the dramatic aspects of the society of our time, the exhibitor's art turns toward essentially visual solutions and also toward spatial explorations, in both tapestries and easel paintings. This is one of the characteristic features of the artistic production of Glênio Bianchetti, one of our figurative expressionists of greatest personal originality, after the generation of the masters of the first phase of Brazilian modernism".

"Besides having absolute command of drawing (...), Bianchetti presents himself as a magician of color conceptions, showing his mastery in the choice of pure colors and the filtering of paints, with which he manages to make the colors most disagreeable to certain temperaments more pleasant. (...) Aesthetically, revealing himself master of his own original world of images, without falling into eccentricity, a world conquered through long research into form, its philosophy and its symbolism, Bianchetti shows a uniformity of structural composition, despite the diversity of themes and contents. For all these reasons, Bianchetti offers us a pictorial poetics combined with a masterful technique of execution, showing that he has overcome all his problems and acquired his own style, becoming one of the most authentic representatives of figurative expressionism in the present cycle of our contemporary painting".

"Let it be said first that, strictly speaking, from the very beginning, even before the Club existed, Bianchetti's printmaking was already clearly engaged; his ideological positions were not the consequence but the cause of his joining the movement. At that time, engagement was understood as showing the social reality of the humblest, their customs, their work, their daily toil, turning to the immediate surroundings. For the gaúchos, thanks to the richness of their physical and human landscape and their culture so distinct within the country as a whole, this was a particularly well-accomplished task. Thus, a quick look at Bianchetti's production between 1951 and '57 shows us women sewing, pounding grain or making quince jam amid utensils typical of the South; workers in their old, rough brickworks driven by oxen; a horse race watched by an audience in wide hats, ponchos and bombachas; the meal, the rest and the siesta after work; a typical gaúcho braiding rope, barefoot boys playing with birds or with a homemade cart, the jogo do osso (a regional game), etc. As with the question of 'art for the people', some skepticism may arise today about the political effectiveness of this kind of image. But since it is not militancy that measures the real quality of a work, but rather the elements brought together in the dialogue between form and content, there is not much to worry about here either".

Testimonials
"The Clube dos Gravadores started a cultural movement of international scope. Since most countries, and also Brazilian states, had similar organizations, a kind of cooperative was formed that exchanged exhibitions throughout the Americas and Europe. 'Works came from far away', says Bianchetti, 'and ours also traveled through several countries, spreading Brazilian printmaking'.
This movement confirmed the potential for spreading printmaking thanks to its particular features, as Bianchetti explains: 'Printmaking is one of the most democratic arts. Unlike other art forms, it is not limited to a single piece; it can be reproduced and circulated simultaneously. This even benefits the price of each work for those who buy it'.
In these thirty years of printmaking, Glênio has developed woodcut and relief printing in linoleum, lithography and screen printing. His strongest affinity lies with relief printing, whether in wood or linoleum, which finds a counterpart in his painting. 'My work has an expressionist origin. Printmaking gave me the elements that were missing in painting, completing my work. My painting has cuts and incisions resulting from the arrangement of colors and shapes. It has a lot of printmaking in it.' [...]
Besides portraying many specific social situations centered on man, Glênio's printmaking is above all a Brazilian art, now representing the record of an era, 'engraving' the very primitive gaúcho regionalism the artist has lived since childhood, recalling values that are almost extinct today.
After the founding of the Clube de Gravura de Porto Alegre, many artistic activities followed one another in Glênio's life, from heading the Graphics Section of the Culture Division of the Rio Grande do Sul Department of Education and teaching printmaking courses at the Instituto de Belas Artes de Porto Alegre, to arriving in Brasília in 1961 and joining the UnB faculty, teaching printmaking and drawing, where he took part in the emerging cultural ferment of that university until 1965. He also recalls the time when there was close interaction among the city's 'artists' and more discussion around cultural movements: 'Coming out of the cinema, or during an exhibition, a group always gathered to discuss, assess and launch new ideas'".
