Artist's
Biography:Cicero Dias (Escada, Pernambuco, 1907 - Paris, 2003). Painter,
engraver, draughtsman, illustrator, scenographer. Began studying
drawing in Pernambuco. In 1920, he moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he
enrolled in courses in architecture and painting at the Escola Nacional
de Belas Artes - Enba [National School of Fine Arts] in 1925, but did
not finish them. He came into contact with the Modernist group, and in
1929, collaborated on the magazine, Revista de Antropofagia
[Anthropophagy Review]. In 1931, at the Salão Revolucionário
[Revolutionary Salon], at Enba, he exhibited the controversial panel,
both for its size and for its subject matter, Eu Vi o Mundo... Ele
Começava no Recife [I saw the world, it began in Recife]. From 1932
onwards, he gave classes in drawing in his studio. In 1933, he
illustrated Casa Grande & Senzala [The Masters and the Slaves] by
Gilberto Freyre (1900 - 1987). In 1937, with the decreeing of the Estado
Novo, he was arrested in Recife. Following this, and encouraged byDi
Cavalcanti (1897 - 1976), he went to Paris, where he met Georges Braque
(1882 - 1963), Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954), Fernand Léger (1881 - 1955)
and Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973), with whom he made friends. In 1942, he
was arrested by the Nazis and sent to Baden-Baden, in Germany. From 1943
to 1945, he lived in Lisbon as Cultural Attaché to the Brazilian
Embassy. He then returned to Paris, where he joined the abstract group,
Espace. In 1948, he executed the mural for the building of the
Secretariat of Finance of the State of Pernambuco, considered the first
abstract work of its kind in Latin America. In 1965, he received the
tribute of a special salon at the Bienal Internacional de São Paulo [São
Paulo International Bienal]. In 1991, he inaugurated a 20 metre panel
at the Brigadeiro metro station in São Paulo. In Rio de Janeiro, the
Cicero Dias Room was opened at the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes - MNBA
[National Museum of Fine Arts]. In 1998, at the age of 91, he received
the National Order of Merit from the French government.
