MARIA HELENA VIEIRA DA SILVA (1908–1992)
A Portuguese-French abstractionist, Vieira da Silva created labyrinthine cityscapes, suggesting perspective and memory through dense, mosaic-like compositions. Her quiet brilliance is visible in the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, the Centre Pompidou, and the Museu Arpad Szenes – Vieira da Silva in Lisbon.
"The city is like a vast web. Painting is how I find my way."
