An exhibition that brings together 130 works created over eight decades by Júlio Pomar (1926-2018), with the expression of eroticism as its guiding thread, opens on September 27th at Galeria São Roque, in Lisbon.
Entitled 'The hand that sees and rules! Pomar, Eight decades', this exhibition brings together works, most of them unpublished, created between 1946 and 2017/18, in Paris and Lisbon, cities where he spent much of his life, and which reveal his interests and favorite themes, according to a press release from the gallery.
"Decade by decade, from the initial neorealist affirmation to the end of the path, always changing the pace without breaking energy, in this exhibition, we identify the expression of eroticism as the guiding thread" in the words of Alexandre Pomar, the artist's son, cited in the text. Mostly unpublished, "these works were those that the painter kept for himself, in a continuous anthology without chronological gaps" and which includes drawings since 1946, paintings since 1960, sculpture and assemblages since 1967.
The exhibition 'The hand that sees and rules! Pomar, Eight decades' opens on September 27th, at 6pm, and will be open until January 17th, 2024.
