"From the "Auto-Reminiscence" drawing, made in 1949 by José Almada Negreiros, the Lisbon City Hall decided to pay tribute to this outstanding figure of modern Portuguese culture, with a monument in Ribeira das Naus."
"José Sobral de Almada Negreiros (April 7, 1893 – June 15, 1970) was a Portuguese artist. He was born in the colony of Portuguese São Tomé and Príncipe, the son of a Portuguese father, António Lobo de Almada Negreiros, and a Santomean mother, Elvira Freire Sobral. Besides literature and painting, Almada developed ballet choreographies, and worked on tapestry, engraving, murals, caricature, mosaic, azulejo and stained glass."
