This card helps me to know more about Portuguese painters. Here is a description from the backside of the card:
"The figures are executed schematically and the houses reveal cubist influences and suggest an anthropomorphic dimension. The space is thereby transformed into a projection of the unconscious world of the subject"
Mário Eloy was a Portuguese expressionist painter.
Eloy was born in Lisbon. His style shows the influence of painters like van Gogh, Picasso and, mostly, from the German expressionist painting, that he admired during his staying in Germany, from 1927 to 1932, especially Carl Hofer.
After returning to Portugal, he become the best representative from expressionism in the Portuguese painting. Some of his latter works, like "Enterro" (c. 1940), in his references, seems to anticipate the surrealism painting in Portugal.
He had to leave painting due to a serious mental disease, in 1944, and he spent the rest of his life in a mental institution at Rio de Mouro, where he died.
