PAST EXHIBITION

8 AUG - JAN 2025 António Carneiro - O retratista de almas	13 JUL - 16 FEB 2025 Montagem #1/ Assembly #1	28 SEP- 24 NOV 2024 Silva Porto - The landscape in drawing and painting

Enter the world of portraiture by one of the most represented artists from Amarante in our museum’s collection – António Carneiro. Guided by the words of Teixeira de Pascoaes, another great Amarante figure in Portuguese literature, you will wander between the references and relative artistic productions of Teixeira de Pascoaes, which contribute to the full reading and enjoyment, both artistic and intellectual, of António's portraits and self-portraits Ram.	The Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso Municipal Museum is in a phase of experimentation and reflection on exhibition models and narratives, in order to allow a revisitation of its collection and the encounter and reunion of languages and authors. In this sense, it presents the exhibition nucleus "Montagem #1/ Assembly #1", the first in which the museum proposes, in a shameless and simple way, this visitation.	This exhibition provides an informed presentation on part of the graphic work of Silva Porto (1850-1893), interpreting a set of drawings from the collection of the Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes - SNBA. Specifically, his innovative look at the territory is framed, characterized by the novelty of the air book style and the approach to the territory's identity traits: landscapes, trees, animals and people. It brings together a set of 32 drawings and a painting, promoting a contextualized reading of its genesis.

22 SEP 2023 - 29 JAN 2024 From the delicate toil of the needle Drawings from Coleção de Desenhos da Madeira	30 JUN - 01 OCT 2023 This is the place where the trees sing António Faria	António Cardoso, Diretor... "desde que nasci..."

This exhibition was born within the context of celebrating 10 years of Pediatric Palliative Care in Portugal, as an invitation to think about these themes through art, in particular drawing. Incorporating art into palliative care recognizes the importance of addressing patients' holistic needs, including their emotional, psychological and spiritual dimensions. Art serves as a tool to promote dignity, comfort and quality of life in difficult times, offering a meaningful and often transformative experience.	"This is the place where the trees sing", at the Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso Municipal Museum, in Amarante, appears again as an experience and also as meditation, in a place that is made above all of the encounter between art, music and people destined for a common existence.	Works of the Professor António Cardoso donated to the MMASC. This exhibition – which is also a tribute – presents paintings, drawings and documents, both official and personal, which will help to understand it.
