Athos Bulcão foi um renomado pintor, escultor, arquiteto, desenhista e mosaicista brasileiro. Nascido no Catete, Rio de Janeiro, em 2 de julho de 1918, Athos passou sua infância em uma casa ampla em Teresópolis. Perdeu a mãe, Maria Antonieta da Fonseca Bulcão, de enfisema pulmonar antes dos cinco anos e foi criado com seu pai, Fortunato Bulcão. Enquanto crescia, passava muito tempo dentro de casa e, por ser muito tímido, misturava fantasia e realidade. Foi amigo de alguns dos mais importantes artistas brasileiros modernos, que acabaram sendo os maiores responsáveis por sua formação. Carlos Scliar, Jorge Amado, Pancetti, Enrico Bianco – que o apresentou a Burle Marx –, Milton Dacosta, Vinicius de Moraes, Fernando Sabino, Paulo Mendes Campos, Ceschiatti, Manuel Bandeira entre outros. Não acredita em inspiração. Para ele, o que existe é o talento e muito trabalho. "Arte é cosa mentale", diz, citando Leonardo da Vinci. Sua trajetória artística é especialmente consagrada ao público em geral. Não ao que freqüenta museus e galerias, mas ao que entra acidentalmente em contato com sua obra, quando passa para ir ao trabalho, à escola ou simplesmente passeia pela cidade, impregnada pela sua obra, que "realça" o concreto da arquitetura de Brasília. Athos Bulcão é o artista de Brasília! As obras que lá realizou foram feitas para o convívio com a população e carregam a consideração por esta cidade e seus habitantes.
Athos was a renowned painter, sculptor, architect, drawer and mosaicist Brazilian. Born in Catete, Rio de Janeiro on July 2, 1918, Athos spent his childhood in a large house in Teresópolis. He lost his mother, Maria Antonieta da Fonseca Bulcão, to pulmonary emphysema before age five and was raised with his father, Fortunato Bulcão. Growing up, he spent much time indoors, and being very shy, mixing fantasy and reality. He was friends with some of the most important modern Brazilian artists, that ended up being the highest responsible for its formation. Scliar Carlos, Jorge Amado, Pancetti, Enrico Bianco - who introduced the Burle Marx - Milton Dacosta, Vinicius de Moraes, Fernando Sabino, Paulo Mendes Campos, Ceschiatti, Manuel Bandeira and others. Do not believe in inspiration. For him, all there is is talent and hard work. "Art is cosa mentale" he says, quoting Leonardo da Vinci. His artistic career is especially devoted to the general public. Not to the ones who visits museums and galleries, but it accidentally comes in contact with his work, when passes to go to work, or to school or just strolling around town, steeped in his work, which "emphasizes" the concrete of the architecture of Brasilia. Athos is the artist of Brasilia! The works that were performed there for living together with people and carry the consideration for this city and its inhabitants.
