Joaquim Rodrigo
(1912–1997)
(1912–1997)
Joaquim José Rodrigo was a Portuguese forestry engineer and painter. Self-taught, who came to painting late, from 1951 onwards, he exhibited an incipient expressionism in Gerais, free from commitments to neo-realist aesthetics. From 1954 until the end of the decade he developed and defined a painting with a rigorous geometric awareness, greatly influenced by Mondrian.
The year 1961, however, marked a new change in his career, curiously coinciding with the American pop art movement and a new emerging figuration in Europe, of which he could not have been aware. He practiced “raw art” for five years, a practice of fixing reality in symbolic terms, of everyday experience or traveled memory.
