Conversation with Francisco Brennand
In postwar Paris, captivated by the existentialist spirit of Camus and Sartre, Francisco Brennand was taken, between anxiety and ecstasy, by his friend Cícero Dias to see, for the first time, a Picasso exhibition. Instead of canvases, he encountered hundreds of ceramics. “I didn’t imagine that great art could be in ceramics,” he says, transformed from that moment on into not only the great painter of international renown, but, affirmatively, the ceramist he became. A man of clay in fire: “The only thing missing from my canvases is that they don’t burn in the fire,” says Brennand, who today celebrates his 90th birthday. Determined to avoid celebrations, he confirms, in this exclusive interview with reporter Bruno Albertim, how his Várzea, the place where, as his friend João Câmara said, he plays God while constructing a universe, is the beginning of the world – the place where he will conclude his existence.
