Antônio Bandeira (1922 - 1967) was a Brazilian painter and draftsman. He is one of the most valued Brazilian painters and has works in the largest private collections in museums in Brazil and the world.
Together with Aldemir Martins, Inima de Paula and others, he was part of the Modernist Movement of Fortaleza in the 1940s.
In 1946, with a scholarship from the French Government, he traveled to Paris, where he had the opportunity to study at the École Superieure des Beaux Arts and at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière.
Renowned master of Brazilian abstract painting - and also a master of watercolors - he lived a large part of his life in France. He lived with the painters of the traditional École de Paris, joining them fully until his return to Brazil in 1960.
He died in Paris as a result of a post-operative shock in a prosaic tonsil extraction operation.
Antônio Bandeira was born in Fortaleza, Ceará, on May 26, 1922. In 1941, at the age of 19, he participated in the creation of a Cultural Center in Fortaleza, together with Clidenor Capibaribe, Barrica and Mário Barata. One and the other, older and more experienced than he, very much guided Bandeira in his initiation in the artistic movement of that State.
