Manuel Guimarães

Died in 1975

Manuel Guimarães was born on 19 August 1915 in Vale Maior, near Albergaria-a-Velha, and studied painting at the Fine Arts school in Porto. A theatre designer, illustrator, caricaturist and poster artist, he entered cinema as an assistant in the forties, notably to Manoel de Oliveira, for whom he also designed a poster. In 1949 he made a short film on the sculptor Soares dos Reis. Repeatedly a victim of censorship, he then had to make films about sporting events and commissioned documentaries. He died in Lisbon on 29 January 1975.
