António Dacosta

António Dacosta

António Dacosta (Angra do Heroísmo, 1914 - Paris, 1990) was a Portuguese painter and poet. He was born in Terceira Island, Azores, where he started his first artistic studies, the latter continued in Lisbon. He joined António Pedro at the 1940 Exhibition in Lisbon, that signified the official introduction of surrealism in Portugal. The first phase of his painting seems very dramatic, in his references of the island were he was raised and of his time.

He left painting in 1949, and dedicated himself to being an art critic for the next 26 years. He returned to painting in 1975, and in his new phase, the subjects of his art become more poetic and nostalgic.
