Sobre IBD

Até à data, a figura de Auguste Morisot era pouco menos do que um enigma histórico: apenas se sabia o pouco que foi mencionado em O Orenoco e o Caura, de Jean Chaffanjon. As circunstâncias desta expedição polémica, que durante muitos anos se afirmou como a única a descobrir as nascentes do Orenoco, bem como a personalidade esquiva do pintor, ignorado pelo seu companheiro, fizeram com que o seu diário de viagem e a obra gráfica deste artista de Lyon, ambos imbuídos de grande sensibilidade e amor pelo grande rio e pelo seu ambiente, só recentemente chegassem ao grande público. A expedição provocou uma mudança radical no seu espírito, e ele permaneceu numa espécie de auto-exílio, dedicado à pintura e ao ensino, inspirado pela sua experiência tropical, até ao fim dos seus dias. Apresentamos aqui a sua biografia ilustrada para uma melhor compreensão deste artista enigmático que amava o Orenoco.
