Francisco Alexandre Stockinger (August 7, 1919 in Traun, Austria – April 12, 2009 in Porto Alegre, Brazil), also known as Chico Stockinger, was an Austrian artist and naturalized Brazilian. Stockinger is known[by whom?] as one of the main Brazilian modern sculptors, but was also an active printmaker, photographer, cartoonist, and graphic artist. Stockinger arrived in Brazil in 1921 and became a resident of São Paulo in 1929. Stockinger was chairman of the Francisco Lisboa Rio Grande do Sul Association for the Visual Arts (Associação Rio-Grandense de Artes Plásticas Francisco Lisboa) from 1957 to 1978.[1]
