Amílcar Augusto Pereira de Castro (born: Paraisópolis, Minas Gerais, Brazil 6 June 1920, died: Belo Horizonte, Brazil 21 November 2002) was a Brazilian artist, sculptor and graphic designer. Starting his career as a graphic designer, he revolutioned the design of Brazilian newspapers in the 1950s, but from the 1960s he focused on sculpture and was one of the leading figures of the Brazilian neo-constructivist movement. Amilcar de Castro is particularly famous for large, bold simple iron forms nearly always characterised by a design based on "one cut, one fold." [1]
