Lucílio de Albuquerque (born May 9, 1877 in Barras , Piauí ; † April 19, 1939 in Rio de Janeiro ) was a Brazilian mostly Impressionist painter , graphic artist and art college teacher.

Life

Albuquerque was the son of an appellate judge in the Brazilian Empire . He studied law for a short time in Pernambuco and at the law faculty of the Universidade de São Paulo before moving to Rio de Janeiro and enrolling in the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes (ENBA). His teachers there included João Zeferino da Costa , Rodolfo Amoedo , Henrique Bernardelli and Daniel Bérard . Georgina de Albuquerque , whom he met there in 1904 and married in 1906, also studied with Bernardelli . His exhibition activities began in 1901 when he took part in the 8th Exposição Geral de Belas Artes , at the 13th edition of this series of exhibitions in Rio de Janeiro, Albuquerque received the Prêmio Viagem in 1906 , a multi-year travel grant for Europe. In the same year the couple traveled to Paris , where both enrolled at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris and the Académie Julian . In Paris he came into contact with impressionism and symbolism .

At the Académie Julian he studied with Henri Royer and Jean-Paul Laurens . He also had access to Eugène Grasset's studios and exhibited in the Salon des Artistes Français . He created glass paintings for the Brazilian pavilion at the Turin World Exhibition in 1911 .

After five years, the Albuquerques returned to Rio de Janeiro in 1911 and in the same year had a group exhibition at the ENBA, where he became a teacher of figurative drawing, succeeding Zeferino da Costa, and was appointed professor in 1916. At the Exposições Geral de Belas Artes he received several awards, in 1937 he became director of the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes, but resigned a year later for health reasons.

In 1940, after the death of her husband, Georgina de Albuquerque founded the Museu Lucílio de Albuquerque in her home in Laranjeiras . His works can be found in several renowned art museums in Brazil.

reception

For the art historian Teixeira Leite , Lucílio de Albuquerque's work evolves from shadow to light, i.e. from the initial use of a palette of dark tones that gradually change to light tones and also move away from the realistic conception of form, to later almost chromatic effects to achieve expressionistically. The artist is also distinguished by his landscapes in plein-air (open -air painting ). The work of Albuquerque falls into a period in which academic art was confronted with modern artists, as they began to prevail from the Semana de Arte Moderna in February 1922. Reforms in the training process at art colleges also played a role here, and he was open about them. Georgina and Lucílio de Albuquerque did not become part of the new avant-garde, but in 1939 Mário de Andrade ascribed the painting Retrato de Georgina de Albuquerque a “progressive modernity” and “certainly a place in national art history”.
