}}Amílcar Augusto Pereira de Castro (6 June 1920 – 21 November 2002) was a Brazilian artist, sculptor and graphic designer.[1]

Early life and education

de Castro was born in Paraisópolis, Minas Gerais, Brazil, to a father who was a judge. He was the oldest of seven children.[1]

de Castra was mentored by the Brazilian modernist painter Alberto da Veiga Guignard.[1]

Career

Starting his career as a graphic designer, de Castro revolutionized the design of Brazilian newspapers in the 1950s, notably Jornal do Brasil.[1]

From the 1960s he focused on sculpture and – alongside Lygia Clark, Ligia Pape and Helio Oiticica – was one of the leading figures of the Brazilian neo-constructivist movement.[2]

De Castro is particularly famous for large, bold simple iron forms nearly always characterized by a design based on "one cut, one fold."[1] His method can be linked both to his earlier work with graphic design and paper, and to the mining heritage of his home state of Minas Gerais.[2]

De Castro did not just produce steel sculptures, he also used wood, marble and glass. Reflecting his training under Alberto de Guignard and his work as a graphic designer, he also produced thousands of graphic works, drawings prints and large scale paintings, as well as objects and jewelry.[2]

Personal life

De Castro was married to Dorcilia Caldeira Castro. They had three children.[1]

De Castro died in Belo Horizonte, Brazil on 21 November 2002.[1]
