“Urban landscape painting develops at the same time with a series of views of Porto Alegre. It should be mentioned that living in Porto Alegre inevitably means coming into contact with the local art scene (Porto Alegre was, after all, a small town and the art world was not that extensive...) which allows him contact with works by highly skilled landscape painters continuing to develop the long local tradition of landscape painting. Landscape was the genre of choice for local modern painters: a tradition that began with Pedro Weingärtner (1853-1929) right at the start of the 20th century, with considerable contributions from Libindo Ferrás (1877-1951), Oscar Boeira (1883-1943) and Leopoldo Gotuzzo (1887-1983) in subsequent decades. This tradition begins with the rural landscape of its founding fathers and then includes the urban landscape, which is largely present in the works of the 1940s by artists like Angelo Guido (1893-1969), Benito Manzon Castañeda (1885-1955), Luiz Maristany de Trias (1885-1964), Edgar Koetz (1914-1969), Gastão Hofstetter (1917-1986) Carlos Alberto Petrucci (1919-2012) and others.”
