Sérgio Mah / Ângelo de Sousa
Carnets d’images brings together for the first time the photographic research that Ângelo de Sousa, in line with the conceptual movement, began to explore in the 1970s.
Ângelo de Sousa (1938–2011) was one of the most important Portuguese artists of his generation. He explored a wide variety of artistic practices (painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, film, video, installations), each time producing an impressive body of work. Since his first solo exhibition in 1959 in Porto, Ângelo de Sousa has continued to explore techniques, materials, forms, and media, without limiting himself to any one practice and without being constrained by any particular difficulty. One of the fundamental features of his work is serial production, with its variations in scale, its play on forms, its redistribution of colors, and its transposition of plastic elements between materials and techniques. As he put it, he wanted to achieve “maximum effect with minimum means. Or maximum efficiency with minimum effort. Or even: maximum presence with minimum noise.”
