Carlos Scliar (Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, 1920 - Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, 2001) was a prolific Brazilian painter, printmaker, draftsman, illustrator, set designer, screenwriter, and graphic designer. He began his artistic studies in 1934 with Austrian painter Gustav Epstein. In 1939, he visited São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, where he met Cândido Portinari, and in 1940 he moved to São Paulo, where he held his first solo exhibition and joined the Familia Artistica Paulista group.

During World War II, Scliar served in the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (FEB) and, upon returning, became involved in political movements against Getúlio Vargas's dictatorship. In 1947, while living in Paris, he published the linocut album "Les Chemins de la Faim," illustrating the French edition of Jorge Amado's novel "Seara Vermelha."

Returning to Brazil in 1950, he settled in Porto Alegre and co-founded the Porto Alegre Engraving Club. Between 1956 and 1957, he collaborated on graphic projects for Vinícius de Moraes's play "Orfeu da Conceição" and Nelson Pereira dos Santos's film "Rio Zona Norte."

In the 1950s, he also directed the Art Department of the magazine Senhor, where he implemented an innovative graphic design project that contributed to the modernization of graphic design in Brazil. His work includes a panel for the Banco Aliança, designed by Lúcio Costa in 1966, and an extensive portfolio of drawings, paintings, and prints that explore social and cultural themes of Brazil.
