The Emigrants - One Hundred Years of Memory

Santo André Center

Opening: 13 Nov at 6 pm

 

Temporary exhibition

Free admission on the oppening day

Marking the centennial of the first public presentation of Os Emigrantes (The Emigrants), on November 13, 1926, this  exhibition offers a look at one of Domingos Rebelo’s most emblematic works and at the theme of emigration in his painting.

The exhibition brings together preparatory studies and other works by the artist devoted to the subject, in dialogue with contemporary works inspired by the painting, namely Os Regressantes (The Returnees) by Tomaz Borba Vieira, and the preparatory studies for Os Naufragantes (The Shipwrecked) by Urbano Resendes.

By revealing the creative process that precedes the final work (often unseen by those who view it), the exhibition invites a fresh reading of Os Emigrantes as one of the most striking paintings in Azorean collective memory.
