The Oscar Niemeyer Museum (MON) presents in São Paulo the exhibition Poty, the Narrator, curated by Juliane Fuganti and Marc Pottier. On view at the White Box space, the show reveals fragments of a deep Brazil through the works of Poty Lazzarotto (1924–1998), one of the leading names in Brazilian graphic art.
Engravings, drawings, and studies compose a visual narrative shaped by an attentive ear to time, land, and people. From the streets of Curitiba to the Indigenous Xingu, Poty captured both the everyday and the epic with equal intensity, blending the sacred and the profane, spontaneous gesture and the monumentality of his murals.
More than a tribute, the exhibition invites a deep dive into Poty's graphic language, which navigates themes such as identity, labor, and landscape. His work—direct and sensitive—resists oblivion and affirms the strength of multiple ways of being.
By now occupying the city of São Paulo, MON reaffirms its role as a guardian of Poty's legacy, expanding the reach of a body of work that is, above all, a drawn listening of Brazil.
