Fernando Lemos

Arpad Szenes e Maria Helena Vieira da Silva [Arpad Szenes and Maria Helena Vieira da Silva]

‘It’s quite mysterious. Our life has been wonderful life. Everyone is amazed! Two painters who love each other and live a whole life together! […] Arpad is the only person in the world who sees me inside out. Only he knows me completely.’*

 

Clearly Lemos understood this relationship of deep affection and complicity that Arpad Szenes and Vieira da Silva felt for each other, a relationship which the author highlights in this portrait through the ray of light which illuminates Arpad’s look on Vieira da Silva’s face.

 

The framing of the image also shows the profile of a canvas on the right side, thus representing the landscape on which both artists inscribed their labour.
