Allegory is a drawing made with pen and pencil on paper, by Victor Brecheret in the 30s. The original work belongs to the Collection of the Jockey Club of SP. Brecheret's projects were many, he had inexhaustible forces to produce and create. Always serious, he said that the artist marks his passage in this life through the monuments he leaves for posterity. And he was right. São Paulo is a city graced by works by the artist. Many bronze sculptures adorn squares and tombs throughout the city. Her most famous work is the Monument of the Flags located in Ibirapuera Park. By Kamy is the brand authorized by the Victor Brecheret Institute to represent the artist's drawings in tapestries and rugs. The Allegory is made by the embroiderers of the social project 1+1+by Kamy, in free hand embroidery, mixing various types of stitches with different techniques created by them.
Victor Victor Brecheret was born on December 15, 1894, in the town of Farnese, Viterbo province, Italy. Orphaned at a very young age, he went to live with his aunt and uncle, Augusto and Paulina Nanni.
Since childhood, he loved making clay figures, which he would bake in the oven at home. One day, while walking down the street, he found a magazine on the ground with photographic illustrations of Auguste Rodin's works; this discovery inspired him to decide what he wanted to become in the future: a sculptor! At 18, he started attending the Liceu de Artes e Ofícios, taking classes in drawing, modeling, and wood carving.
During the day, he worked at his uncle's shoe factory, and at night, he attended the course. After almost two years of study, one of the teachers at the Liceu called his aunt and said: “Ma'am, we can’t teach this boy anything more. He has incredible talent. If you could take him to Rome or Paris, there he could learn whatever he wants. He has so much talent; I think it would be worth it.”
