CARLOS BOTELHO
(1899-1982)
He was born in Lisbon, Portugal.
Botelho was brought up in an intellectual and musical atmosphere, and music had a great influence on his artistic development.
He studied in Lisbon, later in Paris where he had the chance to work on the Portuguese pavillon in the Exposition Colonial of 1921 and also in 1937 in the Exposition Universelle.
He spent a few time in Holland and Belgium before returning to Lisbon where he lived and worked as painter, illustrator, caricaturist and decorator. And also, during more than 20 years, in the Technical Services of the SNI (National Information Secretariat).
As an artist, he was influenced by Picasso, Braque and Van Gogh, and later by Vieira da Silva.
He was classified as a lyrical Post-Impressionist but his style moved to a more delicate palette and a more syntetic form where the figurative theme practically disappeared.
He is represented in many public and private collections and, of course, in more tham 1.000 pages of comics in the magazine "Ecos da Semana".
