{"product_id":"ferro-candido-portinari-1","title":"Ferro - Candido Portinari","description":"\u003cp\u003eA powerful depiction of industrial labour by Brazilian modernist Candido Portinari, focusing on the physical reality of the working class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCandido Portinari, a central figure in Brazilian modernism, produced this work during a period of intense focus on the realities of labour and industrialisation. Ferro (Iron) captures the physical exertion of workers within a factory setting, a subject that occupied the artist throughout the 1930s. The composition is structured around the heavy, rhythmic movements of the figures, whose muscular forms are rendered with a deliberate, sculptural quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortinari employs a palette of muted earth tones, greys, and whites to convey the atmosphere of the industrial environment. The figures are depicted in various stages of manual labour, their bodies angled to suggest the weight of the materials they handle. The background features architectural elements, such as arched openings, which provide a sense of depth while maintaining the focus on the human element of the scene. The artist avoids idealisation, choosing instead to present the raw, tactile nature of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece reflects the broader interest in social themes that defined much of Portinari's output during this decade. By placing the worker at the centre of the frame, he draws attention to the human cost and the physical reality of industrial progress. The brushwork is controlled and purposeful, aligning with the gravity of the subject matter. The interplay of light and shadow across the figures creates a sense of volume, grounding them firmly within the space. This work remains a clear example of the artist's ability to combine modernist formal techniques with a direct, honest observation of the working class in Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/female-model-vilhelm-lundstrom-2\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFemale Model - Vilhelm Lundstrøm — Vilhelm Lundstrøm\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/peter-i-the-great-valentin-serov\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePeter I the Great - Valentin Serov — Valentin Serov\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Candido Portinari","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58520694260047,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58520717951311,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58520717984079,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58520718016847,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58520718049615,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58520718082383,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58520718115151,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58520718147919,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58520718180687,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58520718213455,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58520718246223,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58520718278991,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Ferro_Poster_CompositorV1_1786479675387.jpg?v=1787169469","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/ferro-candido-portinari-1","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
