Julio dos Reis Pereira revisited ...



As the first morning sun rays broke free I made my way to Gulbenkian Museum to revisit Julio dos Reis Pereira's exhibition so as to take some photographs of his most impressive paintings ... the ones which represent the female body in its manifold perspectives, whether symbol of sensitiveness or lacking any sense of seduction ... unveiling a state of carnal desire or revealing enchantment  ... promiscuity ... macabre situations ... nakedness ... the boundaries between the inside and the outside ... dreams ... aspirations ...

Some of  his 1939 drawings caught my attention as well, so I ended up photographing some of them. "Lines and gestures made into poems" ..., stories behind each representation ...
