Abstrakt
Almada Negreiros (1893-1970), who was known as "a total artist": he was a painter, draftsman, dancer, novelist, poet, and playwright. This artist occupied a central position in a the first generation of modernists.
He performed ambiguous artistic works during the Salazar regime, and his legacy was systematically refused several years after the Carnation Revolutin. This study intends to show that there are four different perceptions of Almada Negreiros's oeuvre, which were both celebrated and rejected by the public.
