| Ernesto de Sousa Poster Collection
Ernesto de Sousa saw life as art and not art as a part of life. He encouraged others to break barriers and explore new languages, and became the crossover to the development of avant-garde ideas in Portugal, promoting the art of poster design within the country and promoting national artists in a global context.
There are around 1500 works in this collection of Posters used to promote exhibitions and cultural or political events, allowing an historical and sociological analysis of the events of the period and at the same time showing an evolution of the technical approach used by designers since the second half of the 20th century until the present day. |
