Signed twice, verso, 'Carmélio' and 'Carmélio Cruz' for Carmélio' Rodrigues Cruz (Brazilian, born 1924) and dated 1966.
(Framed dimensions: 34 x 33.75 x 1.5 inches)
Carmélio Rodrigues Cruz first studied art with the Brazilian painter, Jacinto de Souza (1935-1940). In 1944, he was invited to participate in the Sociedade Cearense de Artes Plásticas (SCAP), alongside other Latin American Modernists including Antonio Bandeira and Aldemir Martins. In 1947, Cruz moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he taught for three years at the Brazilian Design Association. In 1951, he was granted his first solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (Resende). In 1963, he made the documentary 'O Fogo' and, in the same year, was appointed set designer for the film 'Pluft o Fantasminha', for which he received the SACI Award and the Governor's Award from the State of São Paulo.
Over the course of a long and distinguished career as painter, cinematographer and set designer, Carmélio Cruz exhibited widely and with success and was the recipient of numerous prizes, medals and juried awards. In 1969, writing of his career as an artist, the critic Theon Spanudis said: "Starting from some of Paul Klee's plastic experiences, in recent years (Cruz) has developed a sui generis painting, which is characterized by the happy marriage of two different elements; a rhythmic, linear element, which invades the canvas and subdivides it rhythmic segments, and a chromatic, diffuse element, finding in his works 'poetic evocations of ancient walls, abandoned walls, walls with moss, and the melancholy of inner cities with their humble rhythmically serial farmhouses'".(Pontual, Roberto; Dictionary of Plastic Arts in Brazil; text by Mário Barata et al. Rio de Janeiro: Brazilian Civilization, 1969).
