Summary
Neo-concrete artist Aurelino Dos Santos (b. Salvador, Brazil 1942) is a Afro-Brazilian popular artist who "with more than 70 years lives in a simple house in the outskirts of Ondina (Salvador), producing art as a compulsion. He doesn't know how to read or write and with difficulty writes his name or speaks (...) He walks in the streets collecting diverse materials used to model the original sketches of his artwork. All the works of Aurelino Dos Santos are geometric. (Our translation)"--P. [47].
