Carlos Scliar, a printmaker from the state of Rio Grande del Sur, gave this interview on the occasion of the Exposição de Gravuras Brasileiras, an exhibition held in the state of Santa Catarina, which borders on Rio Grande del Sur. The focus of the conversation is the development of the Clubes de Gravura around the country. Scliar speaks of the importance of the study that takes place at the print clubs, but also of the discussions between members on topics such as how to keep the workshops going, the purchase of materials, small exhibitions in the clubs’ headquarters, and the connection between the number of prints made and the price. Scliar is, generally speaking, supportive of the popularization of printmaking, but he recognizes that the ability to reach a larger public depends on the themes selected and on approach. While, in Scliar’s view, Brazilian printmaking faces some technical problems, it has gained widespread public support thanks to the nationalist themes it addresses or, as he puts it, topics tied to “the life of our people.” In the artist’s words, “this proves that, for a work of art to have universal value, it must be bound to aspects of the life of everyday people, it must be resoundingly national in character.” In closing, Sclair encourages the creation of a Clube de Gravura in Florianópolis, the capital of the state of Santa Catarina, “because each part of the [Brazilian] Federation has unique characteristics.”
