Exhibition on Almada Negreiros closes March 31 at Soares dos Reis Museum

The exhibit featuring Almada Negreiros'work, on display at Museum Soares dos Reis, will close March 31, after the end date has been postponed.

The National Museum Soares dos Reis, in partnership with Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, plays host to the exhibition "José de Almada Negreiros: desenho em movimento", curated by Mariana Pinto dos Santos.

The exhibit gathers 90 drawings by Almada Negreiros, who viewed himself as a futurist artist, inspired by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and Eugène Ionesco or Arthur Adamov.

His work extends to tapestry, printmaking, theatre and ballet scenography. Almada Negreiros was also a poet and a significant part of his artistic production was literary.

His artistic production was prolific and Negreiros is viewed as the key Portuguese figure in modern art, influenced by Cubism and, mainly, by Futurism.

This will be an occasion to see, first hand, some unpublished works by the author.
