Better known just as “Lorenzato,” Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato was a modernist artist who portrayed the landscape and everyday life in the tropical savanna during the urbanization of the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. His singular body of paintings centered on his fastidious observations of the everyday subjects he encountered in his hometown of Belo Horizonte, including land- and townscapes, favelas, and the people he came across in his meandering walks through town. Using a rich palette of self-made pigments to describe his surroundings, Lorenzato’s distinct compositions are characterised by richly textured surfaces that he achieved through the use of brushes, combs, and forks.
