JOSÉ DE GUIMARÃES
Original oil on canvas with relief, signed and dated 1989. A major figure in Portuguese contemporary art, José de Guimarães developed an unmistakable plastic language, marked by the influence of African, Asian and pre-Columbian cultures, creating a symbolic universe of intense colors and ancestral forms. The presented work is an excellent example of this language, where hybrid figures and totemic elements merge in a composition of great visual and expressive strength. Executed in 1989, a period of full artistic maturity, this painting shows the material richness of the oil with relief and the iconography that made the artist internationally recognized, being represented in important museums and public and private collections worldwide.
