Who was the Portuguese sculptor João Cutileiro?

With a new vision of sculptural practice, João Cutileiro (1937-2021) marked the history of Portuguese art by transforming the artistic and cultural landscape of this country. From the end of the 1950s, his marble works marked by experimentalism, eroticism, nature and national history, became visible in the Portuguese public space. «Dom Sebastião de Lagos» (1973) and the monument to the 25th of April, at the top of the Eduardo VII park, in Lisbon, are two sculptures that marked the artistic and political career of João Cutileiro. In addition to the public space, his works were exhibited in several museum spaces and national and international biennials, such as the Unikat-Galerie, in Wuppertal, Germany, the Royal Academy of Arts, in London, the Museum of Lagos (1978), the XV International Biennial of São Paulo, Brazil (1979), among others.
