“Paulico”, Paulo Werneck’s nickname, is also the name of a set of tables that are part of the series of reinterpretations of his mosaic murals and original designs by his grandson, Gaspar Saldanha, trustee of his legacy.

These small tables display the three styles found in Paulo’s oeuvre: “abstract”, with details from the mural of the Guarabira building, in Rio de Janeiro; “organic”, with details from the mural of the Federal Senate building, in Brasília; and “geometric”, with details from the mural of the Torquato Pessoa building, in Rio de Janeiro.

PAULO WERNECK

1907 - 1987

This self-taught Brazilian modernist created important panels for influential architects, including brothers Roberto and Affonso Eduardo Reidy and Oscar Niemeyer. For the latter, he made the murals for the nave of the São Francisco de Assis da Pampulha Church. 

Werneck also created the panels seen at the Maracanã Stadium and Ministry of Finance in Rio de Janeiro, at the Senate and Itamaraty Palace in Brasília and at the Banco do Brasil in the Old Recife district in Recife. He was also the creator of over 300 murals in residential, public and commercial buildings throughout Brazil.
