Iberê Camargo (Restinga Seca RS 1914 - Porto Alegre RS 1994)
Iberê Camargo was one of the most important Brazilian artists, recognized as a painter, printmaker, draftsman, writer and teacher. Born in Rio Grande do Sul in 1914, Iberê Camargo began his painting studies with Frederico Lobe and Salvador Parlagreco at the Escola de Artes e Ofícios in Santa Maria. Between 1936 and 1939, Iberê Camargo studied technical architecture at the Instituto de Belas Artes in Porto Alegre, where he also studied with the master João Fahrion.
Iberê Camargo moved to Rio de Janeiro in 1942 and, with a grant from the government of Rio Grande do Sul, entered the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes (Enba). Dissatisfied with academic teaching, Iberê Camargo sought guidance from Guignard and, in 1943, founded the Grupo Guignard with other artists. In 1947, Iberê Camargo won a travel prize to Europe, where he studied with masters such as Giorgio de Chirico, in Rome, and André Lhote, in Paris.
Iberê Camargo returned to Brazil in 1950 and joined the Comissão Nacional de Artes Plásticas. In 1953, Iberê Camargo founded the printmaking course at the Instituto Municipal de Belas Artes in Rio de Janeiro, today the Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage. The following year, Iberê Camargo organized, together with Djanira and Milton Dacosta, the Salão Preto e Branco (Black and White Salon), in protest against the high import duties on art materials.
Iberê Camargo also stood out as a teacher, giving painting courses at the Theatro São Pedro in Porto Alegre between 1960 and 1965. In 1966, Iberê Camargo created a 49 m² panel for the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva. From 1970, Iberê Camargo taught at the School of Fine Arts of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). In 1980, Iberê Camargo was involved in a tragic episode in which he killed a man in self-defense, an event that deeply marked his personal life and his artistic production.
In 1986, Iberê Camargo received an honorary doctorate from the Federal University of Santa Maria. His main publications include Tratado sobre Gravura em Metal (1964), the technical manual A Gravura (1992) and the short-story collection No Andar do Tempo: 9 contos e um esboço autobiográfico (1988), works that reinforce his importance for Brazilian art and culture.
Iberê Camargo was one of the great names of 20th-century Brazilian art, recognized as a painter, draftsman and printmaker. Born in Restinga Seca (RS) and deceased in Porto Alegre, Iberê Camargo built a singular career and a remarkable body of work, becoming a fundamental reference of Brazilian modern art.
Iberê Camargo began his artistic training at the Escola de Artes e Ofícios in Santa Maria, where he studied with Salvador Parlagreco and Frederico Lobe. Between 1936 and 1939, Iberê Camargo studied technical architecture at the Instituto de Belas Artes in Porto Alegre, a period in which he also deepened his painting studies under João Fahrion.
Iberê Camargo gained prominence in 1942 when he held his first solo exhibition in Porto Alegre. That same year, Iberê Camargo moved to Rio de Janeiro with a grant from the government of Rio Grande do Sul, seeking to broaden his training and improve his knowledge of painting.
Iberê Camargo had a brief but decisive passage through the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes in Rio de Janeiro. Dissatisfied with academic teaching, Iberê Camargo sought the guidance of Alberto da Veiga Guignard, who taught for only two months at the headquarters of the União Nacional dos Estudantes, on Praia do Flamengo, to a select group of about 30 students.
Iberê Camargo recalled this period in his testimony: “I arrived in Rio in August 1942. And I brought with me a great desire to learn. Through the Augusto Meyer couple, I met Portinari and Lelio Landucci, to whom I became as close as a brother. Landucci, sensitive and intelligent, knew how to see and how to teach others to see. After a brief passage through the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes, I became a student of Guignard. His work had a brief influence on mine, but the purity of his spirit marked me forever.”
In 1943, Iberê Camargo founded, together with Geza Heller and Elisa Byington, the Grupo Guignard, a collective studio set up in a building on Rua Marquês de Abrantes, in Botafogo. The space, which had previously housed the Flor do Abacate dance hall, was given the name Nova Flor do Abacate by the poet Manuel Bandeira.
Iberê Camargo recounted that Guignard taught drawing and painting using extremely hard pencils, capable of leaving deep grooves in the paper. This rigorous practice strongly influenced his students. During this period, Iberê Camargo began his first experiments with metal printmaking, guided by Hans Steiner and by Guignard himself.
In 1947, Iberê Camargo received the Foreign Travel Prize of the Modern Division of the Salão Nacional de Belas Artes. The prize enabled Iberê Camargo to study in Rome in 1948 with masters such as Giorgio de Chirico, Achille Rosa and Petrucci. In 1949, Iberê Camargo continued his training in Paris under André Lhote, returning to Brazil in 1950.
In 1953, Iberê Camargo became professor of printmaking at the Instituto de Belas Artes in Rio de Janeiro. At the same time, Iberê Camargo taught printmaking in his studio and during residencies in Porto Alegre, in other Brazilian cities and abroad.
Iberê Camargo consolidated his international standing through participation in important exhibitions and biennials. The artist took part in several editions of the São Paulo Biennial, receiving the Best National Painter Award at the 6th Biennial, in 1961, and having special rooms in the 1963 and 1971 editions. Iberê Camargo also took part in the Tokyo Biennial in 1961 and 1968 and the Venice Biennale in 1962, and held an important retrospective at the Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro (MAM-RJ).
In 1962, Iberê Camargo was commissioned by the Companhia de Navegação Costeira to paint two large panels for the ships Princesa Isabel and Princesa Leopoldina. In 1966, Iberê Camargo produced the panel donated by Brazil to the headquarters of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, Switzerland.
Iberê Camargo held numerous solo exhibitions in important cultural centers in Brazil and abroad, including Porto Alegre, Santa Maria, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Curitiba, Niterói, Montevideo, Paris, London and Washington, broadening the recognition of his work among critics and the international public.
Iberê Camargo's career was celebrated in important retrospectives. Notable among them are the exhibition of drawings held in 1979 at the Museu de Arte do Rio Grande do Sul, shown again in 1980 at the Museu Guido Viaro in Curitiba, and the exhibition celebrating the artist's 70th birthday, which traveled to Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Porto Alegre in 1984.
Iberê Camargo was also honored by major cultural institutions in the following decades. Among the most relevant exhibitions are the printmaking retrospective held in 1990 at the Espaço Cultural Banco Francês e Brasileiro in Porto Alegre, shown again in 1991 at the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes in Rio de Janeiro, and the broad retrospective organized in 1994 by the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, consolidating Iberê Camargo's legacy as one of the leading artists of 20th-century Brazilian art.
Iberê Camargo took part in important international group exhibitions that helped consolidate his recognition on the modern art scene. These include the Mexico Biennial (1958), the International Printmaking Exhibition in Yugoslavia (1971), the 10th Quadriennale Nazionale d’Arte di Roma (1977) and the exhibition Modernidade – Arte Brasileira do Século XX (1988), shown at the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris and later at the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo.
Iberê Camargo was also present in relevant group exhibitions in Brazil, among them Entre a Mancha e a Figura (MAM-RJ, 1982), Expressionismo no Brasil: Heranças e Afinidades (18th São Paulo Biennial, 1984), Mário Pedrosa: Arte, Revolução e Reflexão (1991, Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro), Bienal Brasil Século XX (1994, São Paulo) and Grito (1997, Museu Nacional de Belas Artes), reaffirming his importance in the history of Brazilian art.
Iberê Camargo began his artistic career linked to figuration, producing landscapes, human figures and still lifes with a strong naturalistic and expressionist character. From his first works, Iberê Camargo gave color a fundamental role in his visual research. His production was influenced by important references of modern art, including Candido Portinari, the Mexican muralists, Alberto da Veiga Guignard and Pablo Picasso.
Vista da Lapa is one of the most representative works of Iberê Camargo's early period. Part of the collection of the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes, the painting won the artist the Foreign Travel Prize at the 1947 Salão Nacional de Belas Artes. The work shows characteristics that would mark his production, such as lyricism, chromatic intensity and vigorous brushstrokes that give movement and expressiveness to the composition.
Iberê Camargo gradually moved away from objective representation throughout the 1950s, without abandoning his interest in the relationships between color, form and matter. This process reached a decisive point in 1959, with the emergence of the Carretéis (Spools) series. Although they still kept references to the concrete world, the works of this phase presented forms increasingly dissolved in a dense painting charged with gestural energy, marking the transition to a more abstract language.
Iberê Camargo consciously adopted non-figuration in the early 1960s, establishing himself as one of the leading representatives of abstract painting in Brazil. Even when this tendency lost ground among some Brazilian critics and artists, Iberê Camargo remained committed to investigating the expressive possibilities of abstraction, developing a singular and deeply personal language.
During this period, Iberê Camargo deepened his research into the materiality of painting. His canvases began to show an intense chromatic explosion, often built on dark grounds and marked by thick paint. As he said in an interview with Walmir Ayala: “Out of an almost tactile need, my painting is thick. Do not think, however, that I use predetermined reliefs or textures, as some painters do. The thickness results from the superimposition of layers that I apply in my eagerness to find the exact color or tone.”
In the 1980s, Iberê Camargo went through a tragic episode in Rio de Janeiro that deeply influenced his personal and artistic life. From then on, Iberê Camargo gradually brought figurative elements back into his work, a language that remained present until the last years of his life. Human figures came to occupy a central role in his paintings and drawings, taking on an appearance marked by loneliness, fragility and existential intensity.
In his final phase, Iberê Camargo developed one of the most powerful bodies of work in 20th-century Brazilian art. The figures in his works appear pervaded by feelings of anguish, resistance and transcendence, engaging with universal questions of the human condition. In this period of maturity, Iberê Camargo reached the fullness of his artistic language, consolidating a body of work of deep emotional density, recognized as one of the most significant contributions to Brazilian modern painting.
Critical Commentary
Iberê Camargo began his artistic path far from the art world, but with a solid self-taught foundation. Born in Restinga Seca, Rio Grande do Sul, Iberê Camargo left his parents' home in 1922 and, five years later, entered the Escola de Artes e Ofícios in Santa Maria, where he took painting lessons with Frederico Lobe and Salvador Parlagreco. The academic teaching, centered on copying reproductions, did not match Iberê Camargo's search for a freer expression. After a disagreement with a teacher, Iberê Camargo interrupted his studies in 1929 and returned to his family's home.
In the following years, Iberê Camargo worked as a technical draftsman for the Railway Battalion, improving his knowledge of geometry and perspective. In 1936, Iberê Camargo returned to his studies in Porto Alegre, enrolling in the architecture course at the Instituto de Belas Artes. From 1940, Iberê Camargo devoted himself intensely to art, producing his first drawings and paintings with great spontaneity and gestural freedom.
In 1942, Iberê Camargo benefited from a grant from the government of Rio Grande do Sul to move to Rio de Janeiro and enter the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes. Dissatisfied with academic teaching, Iberê Camargo sought guidance from Guignard, whose influence became visible in his painting — marked by softer gestures and a more subtle palette.
Iberê Camargo's international projection came in 1947, when he received the foreign travel prize of the Salão Nacional de Belas Artes. In Rome, Iberê Camargo came into contact with masters such as Giorgio de Chirico and Petrucci. In Paris, Iberê Camargo studied with André Lhote and deepened his learning in European museums. Back in Brazil in 1950, Iberê Camargo began teaching and developing his printmaking technique, being hired as a teacher at the Instituto Municipal de Belas Artes in Rio de Janeiro.
In the 1950s, Iberê Camargo went through a decisive phase in the evolution of his visual language, with the emergence of the still lifes with spools. Gradually, these works lost their figurative function and paved the way for more abstract compositions. The spools became a recurring symbol in his work, marking Iberê Camargo's transition to abstraction. From 1960, Iberê Camargo made his painting more gestural and textured, with thick layers of paint and an intense use of color.
In the 1970s, Iberê Camargo began to insert recognizable signs and figures into his works, anticipating the return to figuration consolidated in the following decades. A striking episode influenced this turn: after being arrested for killing a man in self-defense, Iberê Camargo made his painting even denser and more dramatic. His human figures became somber and distorted, reflecting suffering and anguish. The series Ciclistas (Cyclists) and Idiotas (Idiots) exemplify this mature phase of Iberê Camargo, marked by a tragic vision of human existence.
Iberê Camargo's final work is striking for the density of its pictorial matter. Even in the face of images of degradation and symbolic violence, his canvases retain remarkable aesthetic force. Iberê Camargo's last works reflect the maturity of his language, revealing the tension between the beauty of painting and the dissolution of the modern subject.
When he died in 1994, Iberê Camargo left a profound legacy and an enduring body of work that continues to inspire generations of artists, researchers and admirers of Brazilian contemporary art.

Critiques
Pierre Courthion
Iberê Camargo’s Painting
"Let us attempt to recognize what fundamentally characterizes Iberê Camargo’s painting by following what we call the creative process in the artist. Initially, there is a figurative conception, a search for a tactile art that will find its highest expression in the non-figurative, ultimately manifesting in gesture. Camargo possesses the foresight not to rely entirely on demonstration. He knows that in art, the finest achievements surpass deductive reasoning. He surrenders to inspiration, which is not the ‘artificial breath’ Mallarmé spoke of, but an opening to the unknown. (...) Camargo always turned his back on official art, and any attempt in that direction died in the cradle. There are scratches, traces of revolt. One senses his impatience to live his art. He also has the gift of hinting at what he wishes to evoke. Thus, throughout his painting, the sea is felt everywhere, without ever seeing it, for everything is a sign, and everything in him resolves into the sign. This is why Camargo communicates with us. His painting is virulent, at times even volcanic, like lava whose torrent reaches us."

Frederico Morais
Informal Abstraction
"Unlike Bandeira, with his luminous ‘féeries,’ everything in Iberê Camargo is energy, drama, raw emotion. 'I do not paint models; I paint emotions,' asserts the artist. The canvas is always an emotional abyss, an endless anguish. More than once he compared himself to Sisyphus. In his studio in Porto Alegre, he showed me a canvas he had just retouched for the umpteenth time and said: 'At first, it seemed I would paint a dawn. I ended up creating a nocturne. What can I do? I have a tragic view of life. I am not a cheerful man; I see no future for humanity, no heaven (...).' 'There are two perceptual layers in his painting. The first is tactile, highly provocative, sensorial. Only the centuries-old taboo restrains us from touching the painted surface and feeling, through our fingers, the whirl of tumultuous emotions. One has the sense that the painting was completed in that very moment. The paint still appears wet, the gesture vibrates, the color pulses between blacks and violets. Up close, then, what is felt is the pure materiality of the painting. From a distance, the planes open and forms organize themselves, giving rise, as a consequence, to mysterious figures, threatening phantoms."

The Evolution of Printmaking in the Hands of Master Iberê
"The principal phase of Iberê Camargo’s printmaking spans approximately from 1958 to 1970. It was during this time that he—and several other Brazilian artists—transitioned from figuration to abstraction. Using a single motif, reels, the painter (and printmaker) from Rio Grande do Sul follows a trajectory that is entirely coherent and organic."

Ronaldo Brito
Modern Painting in Brazil
"Without exaggeration, I believe, Iberê Camargo’s work today embodies modern painting in Brazil. The image, often commonplace, acquires, in his case, a genuinely expressive value: his canvases seem to truly incarnate painting itself. In a very specific sense, they dramatically reassert the corporeal origin of Western Form. A contemporary, uncertain, and saturated encounter with the genesis and history of form in the Western pictorial tradition might perhaps come closest to a concise characterization of this profound yet immediately impactful painting, tragic in accents but averse to grandiloquence, as ardently individualistic as it is generously public."

Paulo Venâncio Filho
A Trajectory Through Modern Painting and Beyond
"Iberê Camargo’s painting emerged under adverse conditions, on the periphery of the periphery of universal culture. In the south, in the provinces, removed from both global and national centers. Overcoming this deficit with limited local resources and a deeply acquired conviction—the boundless respect for high culture, the unrestrained admiration for masters of tradition, and a full awareness of the need for discernment in artistic formation—was a challenge Iberê set for himself to become a painter. It is evident that his artistic ambition was fully aware of the limits of Brazil’s cultural condition, of our backwardness and isolation. These elements, a mix of provincialism and transcendent artistic fervor, give, I believe, the unique and essential meaning to Iberê Camargo’s work, which cannot be found with the same intensity in any other Brazilian artist."
A typical Brazilian structural deformation, combined with an artistic ambition rare in its intensity, establishes the drive and conflict that run throughout the work: the unresolved tension between the limitations of the local environment and a universal artistic aspiration.
From this arises a somewhat solitary destiny, both in attitude and in artistic poetics. Expressionism is a rare phenomenon among us, practiced by only a few. Everything suggests that the fate of an expressionist in Brazilian art is solitude. This is the case with Iberê, solitary and also rebellious. Iberê's rebellion reflects an individualistic impulse, ambiguously modern, anti-provincial, anti-bureaucratic, anti-establishment."

Testimonials
Angélica de Moraes
"[His] corrosive outburst, like the acid Iberê uses to etch his images into metal, is yet another facet of his perfectionism. [...] He never accepts limits. And, even stubbornly living in Brazil, he refuses to sugarcoat reality to make things more bearable. 'The economy of this country strangles every free gesture, it constrains, it prevents,' he asserts. [...] Even adapted to the Third World, he knew how to insist and persist. It was worth it.
'The most satisfying thing,' says [Carlos] Martins, 'was observing the perfect correspondence between Iberê’s prints and his paintings.' The curator [Carlos Martins] notes the similarity between the abundance of paint on the painter’s canvases and the accumulation of material in his graphic work. This buildup was achieved through successive acid baths on the same image. [...] The artist reveals himself essentially as a metal engraver. Few images exist in other techniques. Lithography [...] appears only briefly, during his return to printmaking. But he soon returned to the subtleties of metal, despite increasing difficulties in assembling a team of assistants to relieve him of the mechanical and arduous aspects of the process, such as polishing copper plates, applying acid baths, and printing the editions."

Augusto Massi
"I studied printmaking with Carlos Petrucci in Rome. Back in Brazil, in 1953, I founded the printmaking course at the Instituto Nacional de Belas Artes in Rio de Janeiro. I wrote all this down; recently, Sagra published a small book of mine on printmaking techniques. It reflects my study, my experience, my journey. I belong to the era of Goeldi, who made woodcuts using a clog and a pocketknife. I improvised a burin with a sewing or gramophone needle. I made a huge effort to reinvent the wheel. I was both student and teacher of myself. [...]
Goeldi’s work was incredibly economical! He had something to say and said it with few words. Goeldi gave nothing away. He was extremely upright, sincere, true to himself. He did not like Picasso. For me, meeting Goeldi was deeply rewarding. He was a good friend."

Lisette Lagnado
"When painting, do you make an effort to reconstruct?
No, not at all. As a painter, I am merely a worker. I strive to create my object as best as possible, like a table or a chair. I attend to its need to exist. I know a table has a certain number of legs and cannot float in space. I must submit to the constructive necessity of the everyday object to make my painting as well as I can, using my knowledge as a painter, as an artisan, as a house painter—no more than that. Now, if I have anxieties, that is the question. Why do you pursue that image so intensely? Why do you dismantle and redo so many times, as people ask me? A painter in São Paulo watched the video and said he saw a parade of humanity, because there are so many figures emerging, which I reject. Why do I reject them? I’d like to know. For me, it’s because that one is more formally plastic, more truthful as an image. But perhaps I am giving the definition of an aesthete, of an artist. I might even be deceiving myself.
Perhaps I am unconsciously seeking the first image, the image of the mother. When it appears, it satisfies. I cannot describe it beforehand, but I can recognize it. It is her, I know it."

Iberê Camargo
"My printmaking and my painting have always proceeded in parallel. They could not be separated. Because I always paint the now. But since I am not an empty vessel, this 'now' carries a lot within it, surfacing and participating in the present. When I paint the now, I am painting the past and already opening space for the future. That is why I say that no one can walk without placing one foot forward and another back. You cannot walk by hopping. That desire to break with things is like trying to remove a leg. Are you going to hop like a frog?"
