Special Acknowledgement
To Maria Portinari, Candido Portinari's widow, for her generous support at all times and for the loan of the originals that make up this collection. The documents she patiently gathered were the genesis of the Portinari Project, a testimony to her love and faith in the future of that young and then unknown artist.
