Take the journey that will lead you through 20th Century Portuguese Art

The exhibit themed 'Cintilações', [Scintillation] will take you in a journey through the 20th Century Portuguese Art. The display is on show at the FC Porto Museum.

The exhibition will remain in place till 26 January, and it can be visited from Monday to Sunday, between 10am and 7pm.

This exhibit features the work of artists such as Almada Negreiros, Álvaro Lapa, Amadeo Souza-Cardoso, Júlio Pomar, Júlio Resende, Manuel Rosa and Paula Rego and it is curated by Miguel von Hafe Pérez.

Of the 24 exhibited pieces, there is one that was nor created by a Portuguese artist; we refer to the "Portrait de Vieira" (1946), by Hungarian-Jewish abstract painter Árpád Szenes, husband of the Portuguese artist Maria Helena Vieira da Silva. This painting is included in this exhibition on account of being "one of the most poignant portraitist" of the Portuguese painter Vieira da Silva., what makes this piece a "Portuguese pieces by theme", explains Hafe Pérez.

Visitors to the exhibition will be given the chance to get to know 100 years' worth of "impacting technical traits and conceptual resources", of this particular period- the 20th century.

Some of the pieces will, for the first time, be on show, namely "A Saloia" (1929), by Jorge Barradas, "La Cage aux Oiseux" (1948), by Vieira da Silva and "Graça Abril" (1974), by Júlio Pomar.

This collection was built with pieces by the personal acquis of engineer Ilídio Pinho and its Foundation.
