Artist profile
Iberê Camargo
Iberê Camargo (1914–1994) was one of the most important Brazilian Expressionist painters and printmakers of the 20th century. Renowned for his heavily impastoed canvases, existential themes, and iconic motifs such as 'Carretéis' (Spools) and 'Ciclistas' (Cyclists), his oeuvre represents a major bridge between Brazilian Modernism and post-war international figurative expressionism. The Fundação Iberê Camargo in Porto Alegre, housed in a landmark building designed by Pritzker laureate Álvaro Siza, actively preserves and exhibits his extensive artistic legacy.
