Exhibition at the Musée d'art moderne, Céret, 20 February - 22 May 2016

Born in Lisbon, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva (1908-1992) felt an attraction to the world of art from an early age. This vocation led her to move to Paris, the capital of the avant-garde, at the age of twenty. A painter of material and mental space, oscillating between figuration and abstraction, between reality and imagination, she participated in a very personal way in the great adventure of 20th century painting, of which she became a major figure by giving the painting a new plastic, intellectual and spiritual dimension.

This exhibition catalogue retraces, through some sixty paintings, all the stages of the artist's career, and evokes the artistic milieu of the New School of Paris and her husband Arpad Szenes.
