José de Almada Negreiros

José de Almada Negreiros was born in 1893 in São Tomé, then a Portuguese colony. A painter, draughtsman, poet and playwright, he was a member of the Orpheu circle with Pessoa and Sá-Carneiro, and the most provocative of his country's modernists. He lived in Madrid from 1927, painted the frescoes of the Lisbon maritime stations, two portraits of Pessoa that became famous and, late in life, the large geometric panel at the entrance of the Gulbenkian Foundation. He died in Lisbon on 15 June 1970.
