International
Caricature Contest Godofredo Guedes’ |
The
portal Brazilcartoon supported the Godofredo
Guedes’ International Fair of Cartoon /
Brazil with the creation of graphic pieces for
disclosure, but unfortunately the Municipal
Secretary of Culture of Montes Claros of the
current administration (2004-2008), did not
fulfill the agreement of paying the valuo of the
prizes. Due to the large number of works we have
received and the importance of the event, the
Brazilcartoon will realize the fair independent of
the support from the Secretary of Culture. The
deadline will be
extended until August 01 of 2009. |
Godofrendo,
Godô, as he was kindly named, was born in august
15 on the city Riacho de Santana, Bahia, in 1908.
In 1953 he moved to Montes Claros / MG. He began
to dominate the brush before he was 15, in 1923.
His first work was “Nosso Senhor Bom Jesus da
Lapa”, made by oil. As the years went by he
became a reference in painting portraits and
beautiful landscapes, North of Minas’
hinterlands scenes. |
Godofredo
was also an influence to the beginning of
advertising in Montes Claros, producing painted
signs to local commerce. In music he had a most
important role in compositions that are nationally
known such as “CANTAR”. which have already
been recorded by Milton Nascimento and Paula Toler,
as well as his own son, the singer and composer
Beto Guedes.
Godofredo went beyond the mounts, in Minas’
capital, where he collaborated in the creation of
the art market in Belo Horizonte, in Liberdade
Square. |
The
imortal Godofredo have always had painting and
music in his blood, and contributed immensely with
the cultural formation of Montes Claros. He left a
valuable inheritance of compositions and paintings,
and also created an instrument, pentacorde, that
have and particular sound. |

Claros is located in the north portion of Minas
Gerais. It is an important academic pole and the
cultural crib that has already projected great
