Angelo Agostini (1843 - 1910) was an illustrator, journalist and founder of several publications, and although born in Italy, is considered the first Brazilian cartoonist.

Biography

Agostini was born in Vernate, Italy, but following adolescence and art studies in Paris, he arrived in Brazil in 1859 with his mother the singer Raquel Agostini, and settled.

At an early age he published drawn work in the São Paulo publication "Diabo Coxo" on September 17, of 1864.Cite web|last= de Souza|first= Worney Almeida | |title= Mestres do Quadrinho Nacional: Angelo Agostini |url= http://www.bigorna.net/index.php?secao=biografias&id=1120185065|language=Portuguese] Following more work published in "Cabrião" and "Revista Arlequim", Agostini produced a sequential image story serialised in "Vida Fuminense" titled "As Aventuras de Nhô Quim" ("The Adventures of Nhô Quim").Cite web|last= Lambiek Comiclopedia | |title= Angelo Agostini |url= http://lambiek.net/artists/a/agostini_angelo.htm] The first chapter published on January 30, 1869, the story involved themes of conflict between the agricultural and urban culture, and political commentary through visual storytelling capable of reaching a largely illiterate population.Cite web|last= de Oliveira |first= Ivan Carlo Andrade |title= As primeiras histórias em quadrinhos nacionais|url= http://www.jornalismo.ufsc.br/redealcar/boletins/jornal26.htm|language=Portuguese]

During the 1880s Agostini started the periodical "Revista Ilustrada", which became noted for its illustrated coverage of the annual Carnival. On January 27, 1883, the first chapter of "As Aventuras do Zé Caipora" ("The Adventures of Zé Caipora") was published, starting a successful publication run of 35 episodes spread out over many years. Achieving a multimedia impact, the series was printed in four editions, and inspired a popular song and two silent films.

Agostini established the magazine "Don Quixote" in 1895, which lasted until 1906, and with Luiz Bartolomeu de Sousa e Silva founded the influential youth magazine "O Tico Tico" in 1905 where the tales of Zé Caipora were continued. During his final years he worked for the magazine "O Malho", until his death in 1910.

Legacy

Named in honour of Agostini, the Prêmio Angelo Agostini is a Brazilian comics prize awarded by Associação dos Quadrinhistas e Caricaturistas do Estado de São Paulo since 1982.
