Fundação Arpad Szenes – Vieira da Silva

ArtClosed · Opens 10amFrom €7.5Rato (Metro, Yellow Line)

Das 1994 eröffnete Museum der Fundação Arpad Szenes – Vieira da Silva ist der portugiesischen Malerin Maria Helena Vieira da Silva und ihrem in Ungarn geborenen Ehemann Arpad Szenes gewidmet. Mehr als fünf Jahrzehnte lang lebten und arbeiteten sie gemeinsam in Paris, Rio de Janeiro und Lissabon. Das Museum befindet sich in der ehemaligen Königlichen Seidenmanufaktur, die nach dem Erdbeben von 1755 unter dem Marquis de Pombal errichtet und zu ruhigen, lichtdurchfluteten Ausstellungsräumen umgestaltet wurde. Die Sammlung umfasst Gemälde, Zeichnungen und Druckgrafik des Paares sowie Werke ihrer Freunde und Zeitgenossen. Sie werden in wechselnden Ausstellungszyklen gemeinsam mit Arbeiten zeitgenössischer Künstler präsentiert. Auch Vieira da Silvas ehemaliges Wohnhaus und Atelier, das Casa-Atelier im nahe gelegenen Alto de São Francisco, kann kostenlos besichtigt werden.
