Lorenzato, the grandeur of modesty
Amedeo Luciano Lorenzato is a unique artist within the setting of Brazilian plastic art. Virtually unknown outside his home state of Minas Gerais, the region where he was born and where he created his vast collection of works, he is however, one of the best 20th Century Brazilian painters, and his importance should and needs to be recognised and appraised. Lorenzato is pure painting – this is how he is quite fairly defined by Maria Angélica Melendi, in the book that was dedicated to him and published in 2011.
