Works by Marcos Rodoldo Schmidt
Marcos Rodolfo Schmidt was born on May 18, 1943, in the city of Santos (SP), and died in São Paulo, on October 29, 2006.
His academic training, carried out entirely in the city of São Paulo, includes a degree in Artistic Education from the Faculty of Fine Arts; the Drawing, Painting and Art History courses at Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado; and a degree in Cinema from the School of Communications and Arts at the University of São Paulo.
Marcos’ work began to be exhibited in the 1960s, under the reverberations of Concretism and Neoconcretism, Brazilian movements linked to international constructive trends, and productions that involved new concepts of figuration, exhibited in important exhibitions such as Opinião 65 and Nova Objetividade Brasileira.
Since his participation in the Salão Novos Valores, an event at the X Biennale Internacional de Arte de São Paulo, a critical dialogue with the questions posed by constructive trends was established by Marcos Rodolfo Schmidt.
In Marcos’s career, a substantivity, guiding his cutting and folding operations, is present in works from the 1960s/1970s. The materials chosen for these operations – metal, felt and paper – function as subjects of discourse, that is, the qualities specific to their nature are not omitted.
These cutting and folding operations were updated in chromatic works from the following decades, based on geometric sequences made on superimposed canvases, and the integration of the qualities of architectural spaces into their discourses.
Marcos Rodolfo Schmidt’s academic background, completed entirely in São Paulo, includes a degree in Art Education from the Faculty of Fine Arts; courses in Drawing, Painting, and Art History from the Armando Alvares Penteado Foundation, São Paulo; and partial studies in Cinema from the School of Communications and Arts at the University of São Paulo.
