The Artist & His Art Romero Britto is an artist whose art is inspired by both his positive and hopeful view of life, as well as his desire to see the world become a happier place. Britto was born in Brazil, in 1963, to a very large family. He is a self-taught artist who, despite his extremely modest upbringing, painted throughout his childhood on newspapers, cardboard, and other scraps— whatever he could find. Romero painted what he saw in his world, and also what he saw in his mind as he envisioned a more beautiful future. Britto’s style has become iconic, known for its warmth, bright and optimistic colors and shapes, and impressions of love. Britto has lived in Miami, Florida since 1989. Since arriving in the US, Britto has completed a number of corporate works, including those for: the 2016 Presidential campaign of governor Jeb Bush, Monsanto, Bain Capital, Movado, Philip Morris, Disney, the United Nations, BMW, and others. Romero Britto’s work also has received critical acclaim; as attested by accomplishments such as his becoming the first living artist to exhibit at Museo Soumaya. His work is known around the world, as it is displayed in galleries and museums in over 100 countries. Britto is also an activist for a number of charitable organizations around the world. He has donated his time, art and resources to over 250 charitable organizations. Examples of his charitable involvements include his role as a selected speaker for the arts at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland; and his role as an Inaugural Founding Benefactor of the Harvard International Negotiation Program. Romero believes that artists can be agents of positive change in the world, and he is intent on supporting the involvement of art in world change efforts.

  • Romero Britto Onboard Allure
    ROYAL CARIBBEAN EXPANDS RELATIONSHIP WITH INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED ARTIST ROMERO BRITTO Allure of the Seas to Feature First Britto Gallery at Sea MIAMI – Royal Caribbean International continues to unveil surprising new features and amenities that distinguish Allure from her sister ship, Oasis of the Seas. In addition to debuting the DreamWorks Experience and Chicago: The Musical, as well as a line-up of new dining, entertainment and shopping options, another new venue that will call Allure of the Seas home will be the very first Britto Concept store at sea by pop culture icon, Romero Britto. Royal Caribbean has enjoyed a long relationship with Britto, which began in 2003 when the artist designed the pool deck for the debut of Mariner of the Seas. Marking the next evolution of this partnership, the BRITTO Gallery aboard Allure of the Seas will be an engaging and interactive space for guests to enjoy the color, innovation and spirit which encapsulates Britto’s art. The store will be located in the Central Park neighborhood and will display artwork along with smaller collectible pieces and sculptures of all sizes. A unique sculpture boasting Britto’s well-known butterflies will grace the gardens of Central Park directly in front of the store, welcoming guests and providing a cheerful photo opportunity. Britto will be creating two original pieces exclusive to Royal Caribbean for guests to purchase, including a custom painting, which will be available as canvas giclées, as well as a Royal Caribbean- inspired teddy bear ornament. Within the store, which will be outfitted in black and white as a contrast to Britto’s exceptionally colorful artwork, guests will have the opportunity to learn about the artist himself from a documentary of Britto’s accomplishments as well as participate in wine and champagne events, art discussions, and other activities related to Romero Britto.

  • ROMERO BRITTO (Brasil-Amerikaner)
    ROMERO BRITTO (Brasil-Amerikaner) The prince of Pop Art Romero Britto, oder besser gesagt das Britto-Phänomen, verblüfft jedermann. Dieser junge brasilianische Künstler, der häufig mit Andy Warhol und Keith Haring verglichen wird, hat mit seinem eigenständigen Neo-Pop-Stil einen bedeutenden Auftritt in der Welt der Kunst gemacht. Seine Gemälde und Graphiken werden weltweit auf grossen Ausstellungen gezeigt und verkauft. Mit klaren, kühnen Linien und farbintensiven Bildern vermittelt er dem Betrachter ein positives, beschwingendes Gefühl. Romero Britto wurde am 6. Oktober 1963 in Recife/Brasilien als siebtes von neun Kindern geboren. Wie alle Kinder, die sich viel selbst überlassen sind, schuf er sich seine eigene Phantasiewelt, die er begann in Zeichnungen umzusetzen. Eine Aenderung trat ein durch seinen Bruder, der Buchverkäufer war und ihm Bücher von z.B. Toulouse Lautrec mitbrachte, die er dann Tag für Tag kopierte. Im Alter von acht Jahren arbeitete Britto mit allen Materialien, die ihm zu Verfügung standen: Wasserfarben, Bleistift, Tinte und Fingerfarben. Unter den Einfluss des weltbekannten brasilianischen Künstlers Francisco Brennand malte Romero Britto Stilleben in primitivem Stil. Schon als Teenager veröffentlichte er seine Illustrationen in brasilianischen Tageszeitungen. Seine Arbeit wurde erstmals in Brasilia im Rahmen einer Ausstellung vorgestellt: Romero Britto war damals 14 Jahre alt. Die Intelligenz und der Wille von Romero Britto verhalfen ihm Schulwettbewerbe zu gewinnen, die ihm die Möglichkeit gaben, an exzellenten Privatschulen unterrichtet zu werden. Nach Abschluss der Schule studierte er zwei volle Semester Jura und stand dann vor der Frage: Diplomatenkarriere oder die Erfüllung des Traumes Künstler zu werden. Er entschied sich für das zweite. Romero Britto war klar, dass Brasilien für seine Projekte nicht der geeignete Ort war, so zog es ihn 1987 nach Miami/Florida: "Coming to Miami was like being born again!".

    ROMERO BRITTO a cura di Gloria Porcella e Lamberto Petrecca Art Director | Mario Peragallo Art Director © 2011 Romero Britto © 2011 © 2011 Romero Britto © 2011 Introduzione in collaborazione con presentano La sensazione che si prova dinanzi alle opere di Romero Britto è quella di un divertente capovolgimento del reale, come se assistessimo all’invasione di cartoni animati nel nostro mondo, ritagliati nei loro contorni neri dalle forbici di chissà quale creatura magica. Fiori giganti, farfalle, gatti, cani, coccodrilli sorridenti, cuori che inneggiano all’amore -tutti rigorosamente caratterizzati da colori squillanti, pulsanti, vivi- sembrano provenire da un universo fantastico, sicuramente molto diverso dal nostro, dove non esistono il dolore e la tristezza, ma solo sentimenti positivi, il candore e la spensieratezza che contraddistinguono l’infanzia. E l’intento dell’artista è proprio quello di distoglierci per un momento dalle brutture che assillano il nostro vivere quotidiano, regalarci una ventata di buon umore, di solarità e speranza per il futuro. Per Britto l’arte ha un forte potere rasserenante e tutti devono poterne fruire liberamente: in quest’ottica si colloca l’installazione di molte sue sculture in oltre venti città sparse in tutto il mondo. E’ l’arte che va in strada, verso la gente e non rimane chiusa staticamente ed esclusivamente tra le mura di un museo. Originario del Brasile, nel 1983 intraprende un viaggio in Europa per studiare l’arte dei grandi Maestri. Dopo aver esposto in diverse gallerie, viene incoraggiato ad intraprendere un viaggio negli U.S.A., culla della Pop Art. A Miami apre così un suo spazio espositivo, riscuotendo un enorme successo.

  • Thoughts for the Week Garden School General Assembly, Thursday
    Richard Marotta, Ph. D., Headmaster Volume 93 Number: XIII "Cultivating Success in Every Child" Friday, December 18, 2015 Thoughts for the Week By Richard Marotta, Ph.D., Headmaster As we prepare to break for the winter holidays, I realized that almost half of the school year has quickly transpired. At a meeting last night, some heads of school and I were discussing the speed with which the school year unfolds and how rapid and dynamic the teaching is within these first few months of school. More and more of our discussion focused on teaching—its pacing, its dynamism and its challenges. I have been thinking about this for a long time and have been teaching and observing teaching for many years in many different schools. This ‘act’ that we call teaching has many sides to it, none more important than the interaction between teacher and student. Yet this in itself can have many faces to it as well. Perhaps some of the basic context for the activity comes from the etymology of the word 'teach', which emerges from an Anglo Saxon word meaning ‘to show.’ I suppose that the etymological meaning of ‘to show’ touches upon the role of teacher in a very static way. Showing characterizes a more traditional and conventional approach to teaching that assumes a degree of certainty in the teacher’s knowledge. It also suggests that there is a fixed body of material that the teacher can ‘show’ by a method of presentation that is clear but distant. Yet we use the idea of “show,” such as a movie or a documentary, throughout our culture to share what we know, to demonstrate a process or to enlighten our audience.
