L\u00facio was possibly one of Clarice\u2019s first loves, which did not go anywhere; there was a great intellectual affinity between the two at the beginning of both of their careers, although he was older and more experienced. He helped give a title to Clarice\u2019s first book, <em>Near to the Wild Heart<\/em>, taken from a phrase by James Joyce. She received at least two paintings from her friend: a first one that was very dark and sad, practically all black, from the phase of his stroke, which Clarice gave away, and finally, another very bright one that reflects the moment in which L\u00facio was recovering at the Brazilian Beneficent Association for Rehabilitation (ABBR).&nbsp; It is very cheerful and it became a memory of this great friend and mentor. In a chronicle dated January 11, 1969, Clarice speaks of their last meeting:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Some women friends had gathered outside his hospital room.

A soldier in the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (FEB) in the Italy campaign, he met Clarice at that time, but he already carried <em>Near to the Wild Heart<\/em> in his backpack. I also remember the two of them at the March of the One Hundred Thousand in 1968, there are good photos that illustrate this moment, and I also recall that Clarice spent a weekend at Scliar\u2019s studio home in Cabo Frio. Both were descendants of Russian Jews, persecuted practically at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"757\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/Revisto-Carlos-Scliar-foto-Vicente-de-Mello-757x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/Revisto-Carlos-Scliar-foto-Vicente-de-Mello-757x1024.jpg 757w, https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/Revisto-Carlos-Scliar-foto-Vicente-de-Mello-222x300.jpg 222w, https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/Revisto-Carlos-Scliar-foto-Vicente-de-Mello-768x1040.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/Revisto-Carlos-Scliar-foto-Vicente-de-Mello-1135x1536.jpg 1135w, https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/Revisto-Carlos-Scliar-foto-Vicente-de-Mello-1513x2048.jpg 1513w, https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/Revisto-Carlos-Scliar-foto-Vicente-de-Mello-scaled.jpg 1891w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 757px) 100vw, 757px\" \/><figcaption><em>Portrait of Clarice<\/em>, 1972, gouache on paper, by Carlos Scliar.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Fayga Ostrower was another great friend, and there was identification with her work, possibly also due to their similar Slavic origins, and Clarice kept her paintings received from the time in which she lived in Washington, with emphasis on the engraving of the mother hugging her baby with great tenderness (<em>Maternity<\/em>, 1950).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/Revisto-Fayga-Ostrower-obra-03-foto-Vicente-de-Mello-680x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/Revisto-Fayga-Ostrower-obra-03-foto-Vicente-de-Mello-680x1024.jpg 680w, https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/Revisto-Fayga-Ostrower-obra-03-foto-Vicente-de-Mello-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/Revisto-Fayga-Ostrower-obra-03-foto-Vicente-de-Mello-768x1156.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/Revisto-Fayga-Ostrower-obra-03-foto-Vicente-de-Mello-1020x1536.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/Revisto-Fayga-Ostrower-obra-03-foto-Vicente-de-Mello-1360x2048.jpg 1360w, https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/Revisto-Fayga-Ostrower-obra-03-foto-Vicente-de-Mello-scaled.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><figcaption><em>Maternity<\/em>, 1950, linoleum on paper, by Fayga Ostrower.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruno Giorgi was one of the artists belonging to the \u201cLeme republic\u201d \u2014 almost on the same block lived Aloisio Magalh\u00e3es, Burle Marx, and Bruno Giorgi, the latter in a small <em>vila<\/em> or quarter off Gustavo Sampaio Street, who at the time was married to Mira Engelhardt \u2014 the couple were good friends and I went to Bruno Giorgi\u2019s house a few times, without having any idea of \u200b\u200bhis importance.

In Djanira\u2019s case, the affection was defined before the meeting, and was directed toward both the person and the work, as one can read in the lines that begin the transcription of the interview: \u201cHow not to love Djanira, even without knowing her in person?

Ele \u00e9 famoso no mundo inteiro. Tem quadros em quase todos os museus: certamente voc\u00eas j\u00e1 viram reprodu\u00e7\u00f5es dos quadros dele. O meu \u00e9 pequeno; est\u00e1 \u00f3timo, uma beleza, com express\u00e3o e tudo. Ele cobra muito caro como \u00e9 natural, mas cobrou menos. E enquanto ele estava pintando apareceu um comprador. Ele naturalmente n\u00e3o vendeu&#8230; Mas veio com uma hist\u00f3ria de fazer dois quadrinhos para eu escolher. De outra vez que eu estiver em Roma, se o excelent\u00edssimo marido permitir posarei ent\u00e3o para ele mesmo, quer dizer, para o quadro ficar dele (ele venderia ent\u00e3o). O meu retrato \u00e9 s\u00f3 da cabe\u00e7a, pesco\u00e7o e um pouquinho de ombros. Tudo diminu\u00eddo. Posei com aquele vestido de veludo azul da Mayflower, lembra-se Tania? Quando tirar a fotografia do quadro, mandarei. Mas n\u00e3o se poder\u00e1 talvez ver bem por causa das cores que n\u00e3o saem. [&#8230;] Eu estava posando para De Chirico quando o jornaleiro gritou: \u00c9 finita la guerra! Eu tamb\u00e9m dei um grito, o pintor parou, comentou-se a falta estranha de alegria da gente e continuou-se. Daqui a pouco eu perguntei se ele gostava de ter disc\u00edpulos. Ele disse que sim e que pretendia ter quando a guerra acabasse&#8230; Eu disse: mas a guerra acabou! Em parte, a frase dele vinha do h\u00e1bito de se repeti-la, e em parte do fato de n\u00e3o ter mesmo a impress\u00e3o exata de um al\u00edvio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>4<\/sup> The original quote in Portuguese reads: \u201cEu estava em Roma e um amigo meu disse que o De Chirico na certa gostaria de me pintar.
