Maria Elena Vieira da Silva (1908-1992) is widely considered the greatest Portuguese artist of the 20th century, though she spent most of her life in France and became a French citizen in 1956. Influenced by the work of Paul Cezanne and the Cubists, she developed a unique, semiabstract style featuring architectural forms and limited use of color. "When I paint a landscape or a seascape, I'm not very sure it's a landscape or a seascape. It's a thought form rather than a realistic form."

Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Vieira da Silva (1908-1992) arbeitete als Illustratorin und Designerin ehe sie inspiriert vom Surrealismus erste Schritte auf dem Kunstparkett versuchte. Nach einer Zeit der Suche entwickelte sie ein grafisches Grundvokabular, das angeregt durch den Surrealismus phantastische, visionäre Elemente enthält. Mit dem grafisch betonten Liniengerüst der in den 40er Jahren entstehenden Bilder werden imaginäre, geometrisierte Räume zu kleinen und kleinsten Parzellen verspannt. In den späteren Werken läßt der klaustrophobische Zug nach. Die aus der architektonischen Umwelt gewonnenen Formen werden zu poetischen, farbig reichen Strukturen umgewandelt.
