Projeto Lorenzato aims for the continuous digital identification and cataloging of the work of Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato (1900-1995). His practice, which began in the 1920s, went a long way until 1964 – the paintings prior to 1948, when he returned to Brazil, were destroyed during World War II –, when he presented some works to the art critics Sérgio Maldonado and Palhano Júnior, responsible for organizing his first individual exhibitions.

Extremely important for the panorama of Brazilian painting in the 20th century, Lorenzato amalgamates in his poetics autobiographical aspects with Brazilian aesthetic and cultural expressions, simultaneously attentive to the scenario of international modern painting. His pictorial sensibility revisits a diversity of imaginary, but no less authentic, landscapes. Figurative or abstract, they emerge from a vivid reality, but also awaken an affective and nostalgic memory. The project, developed for open consultation and on a non-profit basis, is supported by Itaú Cultural.
