Humberto Rosa (painter)

Humberto Rosa (January 18, 1908 – 1948) was a Brazilian artist who worked in painting and drawing.

He was part of the Grupo Santa Helena and the Família Artística Paulista (or "Artistic Family of São Paulo"), but is less known than other members.

Unlike most other members, he was neither a proletarian nor an artisan; instead he earned his wage as a drawing teacher, and that was the job he had until the end of life.

Due to his always frail health and consequent early death, at forty, he was not as productive as the other members of Santa Helena Group.

His works, particularly the landscapes, record his countryside origin, and the life in the fast-growing São Paulo city.
