This is the place where the trees sing

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.

“Travels are the artist's great book. As necessary to him as the Bible and Latin to a priest. Moral food is in the book of the world (...)”.

It is with this idea of ​​Amadeo that we challenge you to undertake this exhibition journey.

He established himself in Portuguese painting as a landscaper, also asserting himself as an interpreter of rural scenes and an excellent animalist, but above all he distinguished himself as a Painter of History.

Eduardo is the author of books told through his photographs where the characters are granite, water, flora, animals and Man who interact, dialogue and follow arguments "written" by him at all hours of the day with special predilection for the dark night and for the intricate dawn. Its main character appears in them: the fog.
