Catalogue of the exhibition Imagem em Fuga, curated by Sara Antónia Matos, which looks at the intersection between the work of Júlio Pomar’s and that of the Portuguese painter Menez (Lisbon, 1926 – 1995) – with whom he maintained a highly complicit epistolary and artistic relationship – and Sónia Almeida, a younger artist for whom Menez’ work was a reference during her college years. Focusing on notion of influence and contamination in art (here understood as productive instead of pejorative) this is an exploration of how images simultaneously endure and evade us.
