Frederico Lange de Morretes
Frederico Godofredo Lange (born May 5, 1892 in Morretes , † January 19, 1954 in Curitiba ) was a Brazilian painter, draftsman, graphic artist and art college teacher who had also made a name for himself as a zoologist.
Frederico (Fritz) Lange was the son of the German-Brazilian engineer Bruno Rudolf Lange . He began studying painting at the age of thirteen with Alfredo Andersen , after which he went to Germany in 1910 , where he studied at the Royal Academy of Graphic Arts and Book Trade in Leipzig , and from 1914 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich . In Munich, however, many studied with the name "Friedrich Lange" and so in 1914 he added the place of birth as Lange de Morretes .
Lange married Bertha Lange de Morretes in 1917, and the marriage had three daughters, including the botanist Berta Lange de Morretes (1917-2016), and a son. He returned to Brazil in 1920 and initially taught at the Escola Normal de Curitiba (today Instituto de Educação do Paraná Professor Erasmo Pilotto). He had founded his own school for drawing and painting, where he taught for around 10 years until 1932. Together with João Turin and João Ghelfi he founded the Paranista movement ( Movimento Paranista ).
In the early 1930s he accepted the invitation of the Museu Paulista to take over the zoology department and moved with the family to São Paulo . As a scientist, he worked on malacology and made the discovery of 25 new species, two strains and three sub-strains of mollusks .
In 1940 he returned to Curitiba, produced paintings and taught at the Escola de Música e Belas Artes do Paraná (EMBAP), founded in 1948 . Artur José Nísio was one of his students .
Lange died of a heart attack on January 19, 1954. He was posthumously awarded a gold medal at the 11th Salão Paranaense de Belas Artes.
