António Carneiro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

António Carneiro (Amarante, 16 September 1872- Porto, 31 March 1930) was a Portuguese painter, perhaps the most innovative from the second naturalist generation, even more than Aurélia de Souza. He started to paint in a naturalist style, but he showed other influences in latter works, like the tryptic "A Vida" (c. 1900), or "Life", a simbolist composition, highly influenced by French painter Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. He latter seems to show Munch and the expressionist painters influence in works like "Night Landscape" (c. 1911) and in the distorted landscapes of the north of Portugal he painted in the 1910's and 1920's, were he reveals a unique modernity for a Portuguese painter from his generation.
