Vista de Lisboa - Jardim da Estrela (signed Possoz but attributed to Eduardo Viana) 

'Vista de Lisboa - Jardim da Estrela', possibly by Eduardo Viana, is a vibrant oil on canvas, dense with colour and texture. The composition is built from thick impasto brushstrokes which create a palpable sense of depth. Greens and browns dominate the foreground, suggesting foliage, while touches of red, yellow, and blue hint at buildings and sky in the distance. The painting defies traditional perspective, instead employing colour and form to create space. This flattening of perspective aligns with early modernist ideas of challenging academic art practices. The heavy brushwork and bold colour choices evoke a raw, emotional response, prioritizing the artist's subjective experience over objective representation. Ultimately, it's the materiality of the paint itself that speaks volumes. The artist uses the tactile quality of the medium to explore the boundary between representation and abstraction, inviting us to consider the painting as an object in its own right, not simply a window onto the world.
