Tito de Alencastro (Rio de Janeiro RJ 1934 - São Paulo SP 1999)
Tito de Alencastro was a painter, designer, engraver, mosaicist and set designer. José Tito Regis de Alencastro joined the National School of Fine Arts (ENBA), in Rio de Janeiro, in 1956, where he studied drawing with Zaluar (1924-1987) and composition with Quirino Campofiorito (1902-1993) and Santa Rosa (1909-1956). At the same time, he studied mosaic techniques with José Miraes and metal engraving with Johnny Friedlaender (1912-1992), at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro (MAM/RJ). He graduated in Museology at the National Museum of Fine Arts (MNBA), where he took classes with Gustavo Barroso. He acted in several chamber concerts and operas in Rio de Janeiro as an actor and singer. In 1961, he took up residence in São Paulo, where he coordinated the Chico Rei antique shop.
He held his first solo exhibition at Galeria Seta, in São Paulo, in 1966. As a set designer, he worked on the film Russian Roulette. In the plays The Great Dreamer, you can be whatever you want, Macho Beauty and Monologue for two, these being of your own. In 1979, the immigrants and work and leisure performed the panels.
Criticism
"Tito's painting today communicates the feeling of peace with things, the peace of man with his things and the truth of their relationship with them. Fish, houses, doors, moon, archaic dolls of strange connotation 'ashanti', snakes, girls jumping rope, all these things are at peace, in fraternal coexistence, which makes me understand a man who fraternizes with the cosmos".
