Description
Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso (1887-1918), an artist who consecutively tried his hand at Impressionism, Fauvism, Futurism, Cubism and Expressionism, was a pioneer not only for modern art in his home country, Portugal, but for Abstractionism all across Europe. Friends with Amedeo Modigliani, Diego Rivera, and Gaud�, he constantly merged tradition and modernism, thus developing a virtuous and unique style; his seemingly chaotic arrangements only revealing their inherent structure upon closer inspection. The Spanish flu put an abrupt end to this rising star of European avant-garde creativity whose impact on the history of art has yet to be fully uncovered.
