Fundação Arpad Szenes – Vieira da Silva

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

Il museo della Fundação Arpad Szenes – Vieira da Silva, inaugurato nel 1994, è dedicato alla pittrice portoghese Maria Helena Vieira da Silva e al marito di origine ungherese Arpad Szenes, che per oltre cinquant’anni vissero e lavorarono insieme tra Parigi, Rio de Janeiro e Lisbona. Ha sede nell’antica seteria reale fatta costruire dal marchese di Pombal dopo il terremoto del 1755, oggi trasformata in ambienti espositivi luminosi e raccolti. La collezione comprende dipinti, disegni e opere grafiche della coppia, accanto a lavori di amici e contemporanei, presentati in cicli espositivi a rotazione insieme a opere di artisti contemporanei. Anche l’antica casa-studio di Vieira da Silva, la Casa-Atelier sul vicino Alto de São Francisco, è aperta al pubblico gratuitamente.
