Amadeo De Souza Cardoso
Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso (14 November 1887 – 25 October 1918) was a Portuguese painter.

"The artist developed, between Paris and Manhufe, the most serious possibility of modern art in Portugal in an international dialogue, intense but little known, with the artists of his time". His painting is articulated with open movements such as Cubism, Futurism or Expressionism, reaching in many moments - and in a sustained way in the production of recent years - a level comparable in everything to the cutting-edge production of his contemporary international art.
