Abel Salazar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Not to be confused with António de Oliveira Salazar.
'Abel Salazar' (19 July 1889, Guimarães - 29 December 1946, Lisbon), was a Portuguese physician, lecturer, researcher and painter who worked and lived in Porto.
Founded in 1975, the Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar, a research center and biosciences school of the University of Porto, was named after him.
He was an anti-fascist and his painting with his social references anticipates the neo-realist movement in the Portuguese painting. He was not related to António de Oliveira Salazar, the Portuguese dictator.
