Amadeu de Souza-Cardoso was a Portuguese painter of modern art, working in the style of the vanguard of his time. Although he lived a short life, his workmanship was legendary. At the age of 20, he went to Paris and experimented with Impressionism and later with Expressionism and Cubism. He became close with artists and writers like Gertrude Stein, Juan Gris, Modigliani, Archipenko, Max Jacob, the couple Delaunay and Brancusi, as well as Italian Futurists, as Gino Severini and Umberto Boccioni.
In 1913, Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso participated in two revolutionary exhibitions: the now-called "Armory Show" in the USA and the "Erste Deutsche Herbstsalon" at the Gallery "Der Sturm" in Berlin.
He became one of the first modern Portuguese painters, influenced both by cubism and futurism.
In 1914, he returned to Portugal and initiated a great and meteoric career in the experimentation of new forms of expression. In 1915, Amadeo and other artists such as Santa-Rita, Fernando Pessoa and Mário de Sá-Carneiro joined to shape "Orpheu", a magazine which only had two editions and is considered by many to be the exponent of the Portuguese modernism.
It is said that Amadeo crossed the modern painting like a comet: it was brief but intense. Although little known internationally, he is one of the most innovative artists of his time. He died in 1918 of the influenza epidemic sweeping Europe.
