Timeline
Fayga Perla Ostrower (née Krakowski; 14 September 1920, Łódź, — 13 September 2001, Rio de Janeiro) was a Polish-Brazilian engraver, painter, designer, illustrator, art theorist and university professor.
Fayga Ostrower was born Fayga Perla Krakowski to a Jewish family at Łódź.
In 1921 the family moved to Elberfeld and Barmen in Germany, where Ostrower attended primary and secondary schools.
In the early 1930s, following difficulties with the German authorities, the family sought refuge in Belgium, and emigrated to Brazil in 1934, where they took up residence in Nilópolis.
In 1941 Ostrower married marxist activist Heinz Ostrower, both becoming naturalized in 1951.
Ostrower began work as a secretary while studying art at the Fine Arts Association, and in 1946 attended design classes at the Getúlio Vargas Foundation’s Brazilian Society of Fine and Graphic Arts, where she studied metal and wood engraving, and art history, with tutors Axel Leskoschek, Tomás Santa Rosa, Carlos Oswald and Anna Levy.
They had a son Carl Robert (b. 1949), and daughter Anna Leonor (b. 1952).
Ostrower exhibited and won prizes in the international Art Biennials of São Paulo (1951 to 1967), Venice (1958 and 1962) and Mexico (1960).
Between 1954 and 1970 Ostrower lectured in Composition and Critical Analysis at the Museum of Modern Art, Rio de Janeiro.
In 1955 she spent a year in New York through a Fulbright Scholarship, engraving under the tutelage of Stanley Hayter.
In the 1960s she taught at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, and in 1964 at Spelman College, Atlanta.
Subsequently, she held posts within postgraduate programmes within various Brazilian universities.
Consecutively she developed art courses for workers and community centres, and gave lectures at various cultural institutions.
In 2023 her work was included in the exhibition Action, Gesture, Paint: Women Artists and Global Abstraction 1940-1970 at the Whitechapel Gallery in London.
In 2002 the Fayga Ostrower Institute was founded in Rio de Janeiro in memory of Ostrower, to house her works and documents, and to provide for creative, fine art and interdisciplinary study.
