About the artist

Montez Magno was born in Timbaúba, Pernambuco, Brazil, in 1934, and passed away in Recife in 2023. A Brazilian visual artist, he was a pioneer of experimental and conceptual art in Brazil, developing a multidisciplinary practice—beginning in the 1950s—that spanned painting, sculpture, drawing, objects, installation, poetry, mail art, photography, video, and writing. Associated with research into concrete art, visual poetry, and avant-garde practices in the country, he built a unique body of work centered on language, geometry, perception, architecture, symbolic systems, and speculative imagination. Throughout his career, he explored serial structures, coded signs, monochromatic compositions, and conceptual procedures, often pushing the boundaries between visual art, linguistic experimentation, and metaphysical thought. His work articulates order and intuition, structure and transcendence, revealing an enduring interest in spirituality, mathematics, urbanism, landscape, and visionary fiction. He participated in significant exhibitions of modern and contemporary Brazilian art, including the 5th, 8th, and 9th São Paulo International Biennials, the 3rd Havana Biennial, the 33rd Panorama of Brazilian Art at MAM São Paulo, and the retrospective *Montez Magno: Algúria* at the Pinacoteca de São Paulo. To date, no reliable public sources have been identified that confirm the presence of Montez Magno’s works in specific permanent museum collections.
