Poty Lazzarotto (Curitiba PR 1924 - idem 1998)
Poty Lazzarotto was a printmaker, draftsman, illustrator, muralist and teacher. In 1942, he moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he studied painting at the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes (Enba). He attended the printmaking course taught by Carlos Oswald (1882–1971) at the Liceu de Artes e Ofícios do Rio de Janeiro. In 1946, he traveled to Paris, where he stayed for a year. In the French capital, he studied lithography at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, on a scholarship granted by the French government.
In 1950, together with Flávio Motta (1916), he founded the Escola Livre de Artes Plásticas, where he began teaching drawing and printmaking. In that same period, he organized the first printmaking course at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (Masp). During the 1950s, he promoted printmaking courses in several Brazilian cities, such as Curitiba, Salvador and Recife.
From the 1960s onwards, he gained prominence as a muralist, executing works in public and private buildings both in Brazil and abroad. He was also highly active as an illustrator of literary works by renowned authors such as Jorge Amado, Graciliano Ramos, Euclides da Cunha and Dalton Trevisan, among others. He published the books A Propósito de Figurinhas [About Little Figures], in 1986, and Curitiba, de Nós [Curitiba, of Ours], in 1989, the latter in partnership with Valêncio Xavier Niculitcheff.
Among his most emblematic murals are the one at the Casa do Brasil, in Paris, made in 1950, and the panel at the Memorial da América Latina, in São Paulo, executed in 1988. From the 1980s onwards, several publications about his work were released, such as Poty Ilustrador [Poty, Illustrator], by Antônio Houaiss (1915–1999), in 1988; Poty: Trilhos, Trilhas e Traços [Poty: Rails, Trails and Strokes], by Valêncio Xavier Niculitcheff, in 1994; and Poty: o lirismo dos anos 90 [Poty: The Lyricism of the 1990s], by Regina Casillo, in 2000.
Critical Commentary
Poty has an extensive graphic output: early on he produced several comic strips and illustrated books by many Brazilian and foreign authors. A great promoter of printmaking, he teaches in several Brazilian cities. He is credited with one of the first known artistic appropriations of lithography: lithographic stones previously used to print industrial labels are reworked by the artist, who keeps traces of the earlier engravings.
At times his drawing seeks the effect of woodcut through the stylization of forms. However, it can also alternate between patch and line, coming close, for example, to the work of Aldemir Martins (1922-2006) and other artists of the 1940s and 1950s generation. In 1968, the artist is invited by the sertanistas Orlando Villas Boas and Noel Nütels to stay in the Xingu National Park, during which he makes about 200 drawings of the habits and customs of the Indigenous peoples. For the art critic Nilza Procopiak, in these works the artist shows remarkable mastery of form and technique, both in the gradation of line thicknesses and in the planes and contours, and in the observation of the geometric motifs found in basketry and ceramics.
Poty also devotes himself to monumental works in wood, concrete and ceramics. His murals, stained-glass windows and panels are closely related to his work as a printmaker, mainly through their affinity with the visual language of woodcut. For the scholar Orlando DaSilva, a common element in his production is the vigor present in the line of his drawings, in the decisive and deep cut of the wood for printmaking, as well as in his carvings and murals.
Critiques
"In analyzing Poty's body of printed work, we must take note, even if only at a panoramic glance, of his works in other techniques. We must know the artist as printmaker, draftsman, illustrator, muralist, decorator and sculptor, and this becomes a challenge. How to reconcile his mural work, especially in concrete, with his graphic works in metal, wood or stone; why does the decorative line, almost always present in his woodcuts, rarely appear in his intaglio prints?
In his woodcuts we often find links with the mural, not least because in many cases the material used is the same: wood.
But there is a common thread uniting all his work: vigor, whether in the energetic line of his drawings, cast quickly and nervously onto paper, or in the decisive, deep cut into the wood for the woodcut, the carving or the mural; it is the ink greasing the stone in his lithographs and creating striking contrasts; it is the pronounced relief of his concrete murals; it is the deep wound made by the drypoint or the acid in his metal prints.
Knowing his personality, we can only understand the decorativeness of his murals and woodcuts not only by studying the material used, but also by taking into account his manual ease and skill, together with his visual memory, which lends itself to a simplified, flowing line. This easy familiarity with technique, with no need to display it, means that we find Poty throughout his work, even though it is expressed in different languages.
Going through his works, we shall dwell with a little more attention on his metal prints, which provide firm ground for the study we are now undertaking. They make it easier to understand his other works in different techniques and show us his beginnings, with the artist presenting himself wholly free of the academic teaching that sometimes stifles the student's own personality. Of all the works in various techniques that he practices, metal printmaking is the one that best reveals the draftsman, who in turn is the one who best expresses his 'self'. We want to stress here that, above all, Poty is a draftsman".
Orlando DaSilva
DASILVA, Orlando. Poty, o artista gráfico. Curitiba: Fundação Cultural Curitiba, 1980.
"Poty is credited with one of the first known artistic appropriations of the lithographic stone used industrially to print labels, cans and the like, which finds later echoes in Lotus Lobo and João Câmara: using those of Ciccillo Matarazzo, with which his industry printed cans, he generalized their artistic use, which he also did in Bahia, placing at the service of the artists, to whom he taught lithography, the stones used to print cigar bands. Poty's graphic work is monumental, both in small formats, such as vignettes and book illustrations for the publisher José Olympio, where he illustrates, among others, Guimarães Rosa and Mário Palmério, and in large ones, in which the same stylized clarity of the small ones is printed, most often rhythmically. In Poty, the stylization of drawing may seek the effect of woodcut, for, highly stylized in its cutting edge and in its solids alternating with voids, it goes to the essential: essentialist, Poty's work in all techniques, generally excepting metal, tends to mimic woodcut, certainly in carving, but also in stained glass and in the concrete panel. His drawing, however, may alternate smudge and line, like Aldemir Martins in another key, both meeting in the combination of the very open patch and the strongly marked line, a common feature in the 1940s and 1950s".
