The exhibition catalog “Itineraries of Modern Art in the Algarve”, a partnership between the Millennium BCP Foundation and the Municipality of Faro, will be presented at the Municipal Museum of Faro, this Saturday, October 15th, at 17:00.
.
This publication reveals, over almost one hundred pages, a work of investigation into the history of local and regional art that still needed to be done. Here, a cultural and artistic Algarve from the end of the XNUMXth century and the first decades of the XNUMXth century is revealed, namely in the currents of Futurism and Modernism, in which names such as Falcão Trigoso, João Vaz, Lyster Franco, Ezequiel Pereira, Carlos Porfírio, Roberto Nobre, Eduardo Viana and Maria Alexandrina Chaves, the first woman from the Algarve to graduate in Fine Arts.
But the publication does not stop at these generations from Naturalism to Modernism, also describing the relationship of more contemporary artists with the Algarve, such as Júlio Pomar, René Bértholo, Costa Pinheiro or Manuel Baptista.
At the end of the catalogue, endorsed by Kaleidoscope, the pages are dedicated to an artistic and aesthetic analysis of each of the works included in the exhibition, most of them belonging to the Millennium BCP Foundation's collection.
The event is attended by Fernando Rosa Dias, professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Lisbon and curator, coordinator and author of most of the pages in this catalogue, as well as the Mayor Rogério Bacalhau, the president of the Millennium bcp Function, ambassador António Monteiro, the director of the Municipal Museum of Faro, Marco Lopes, as well as the professor at the University of Algarve Mirian Tavares and the researcher Luis Lyster Franco.
The exhibition to which this catalog refers will be on display until Sunday, October 16, on Friday, from 10:00 am to 18:00 pm, and on weekends, between 10:30 am and 17:00 pm.
