II Exhibition of Modern Art of Viana do Castelo



II Exhibition of Modern Art of Viana do Castelo held by the Regional Museum of Viana do Castelo, in September 1959, this exhibition was open to the public in the following cities, in Coimbra, organized by the Academic Association Circle of Plastic Arts, in December 1959. and Caldas da Rainha, organized by the Caldense Scenic Ensemble, in January 1960, sponsored by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, planned and organized by Dr. Manuel de Sousa Oliveira.


Art even when it seems far removed from life is always its reflection, not in the sense of imitation, as the Aristotelian definition has been misinterpreted, but in the source of expressive creation.


This exhibition of modern Portuguese artists, despite the energetic care of their organization, cannot, of course, give the full picture of our art. However, it worthily illustrates the transformation that has taken place, especially in the last decade, into the European success of our step. And it will certainly have provided interested visitors with familiarizing themselves with not only the characteristic aspects of today's art but also some of the most representative names in the new ranks of Lisbon and Porto. Manuel Pereira da Silva is one of 37 artists present, with two sculptures and two paintings.

This exhibition is also a tribute to Manuel Pereira da Silva, here, in this room of Aureliano Lima, friend of Manuel Pereira da Silva, who helped Aureliano Lima a lot, namely by giving up his studio, Manuel Pereira da Silva also prolonged his teaching in his studio. , help mutual help between artists.
These moments of abstractionism here revealed in some sculptures in which I stress the way Manuel Pereira da Silva represents family, man, woman and children, through such beautiful geometric lines. Manuel Pereira da Silva's sculptures always start with drawings, which is the soul of the artist, usually sculptors always draw very well.
Manuel Pereira da Silva was also a great social intervener, was President of the Parish Council of Avintes, participated in the creation and directive structure of some Avintes Associations as well as contributed to his work by making statues, busts and medals for all the collectives of Avintes, his homeland, in a generous way.
