'In a time of confusion, flightiness and anemia, the example of Candido Portinari's powerful art, so full of import, content and solid technique, comes to us as a wholesome, life-giving wind, as proof that the great Latin vein has not bled dry, but, enriched by new motifs, lives on, thanks to the merit of a son of immigrants who still believes that painting is a serious, difficult occupation, which is useful to man.'
