Mário Eloy

Mário Eloy

Mário Eloy (Algés, 15 March 1900 – Lisboa, 5 September 1951) was a Portuguese expressionist painter.

Eloy was born in Lisboa. His style shows the influence of painters like van Gogh, Picasso and, mostly, from the German expressionist painting, that he admired during his staying in Germany, from 1927 to 1932, specially Carl Hofer.

After returning to Portugal, he become the best representative from expressionism in the Portuguese painting. Some of his latter works, like "Enterro" (c. 1940), in his references, seems to anticipate the surrealism painting in Portugal.

He had to leave painting due to a serious mental disease, in 1944, and he spent the rest of his life in a mental institution at Rio do Mouro, where he died.
