Pedro Cabrita Reis

Résumé du livre

The work of Portuguese artist Pedro Cabrita Reis (Lisboa 1956) is undergirded by a profound interest in nature landscape architecture and colour. This book features one of his last woks The tree of light a series of black and white photographs of millenary olive trees of which he takes care himself in his rural villa in the Algarve. These olive trees of sculptural shapes convey the balance the strenght and the classicism that characterize his work. The book includes a short text by the artist expressing his interest in these trees as elements containing an anthropologic memory.
