Sculpture of Mário de Sá Carneiro

Portuguese poet and prosaist (19/5 / 1890-26 / 4/1916), considered one of the most original and complicated authors of the Portuguese Modernist Movement. Mário de Sá-Carneiro is the poet who embodies the frustrations and nightmares of his land at the beginning of this century, a country divided between past glory and the attraction for modernity and the lights of European renewal. This is translated into his work through a language of extreme verbal violence.
