He quickly gained recognition for his innate talent and creativity and is considered one of the leading exponents of Neorealism in Portugal, particularly for his early works that focused on social critique during the Estado Novo period. Pomar\u2019s constant desire to innovate, combined with a prolific artistic output, resulted in a diverse body of work that spans multiple media, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, and literature.<\/p>&#13;\n<p data-start=\"700\" data-end=\"1046\">The painting \u201cDecorated Calves\u201d reflects a context of influences and motifs that Pomar adopted throughout his career. It was included in the exhibition \u201cThe Presence of the Divine in the Works of Ant\u00f3nio Dacosta and J\u00falio Pomar,\u201d presented by the Museu de Angra do Hero\u00edsmo in 2006 at the Biblioteca P\u00fablica e Arquivo Regional de Ponta Delgada.<\/p>&#13;\n<p data-start=\"1048\" data-end=\"1447\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">On a background of earthy and sanguine tones, two calves are depicted off-center, with simplified, distorted, and geometrized bodies. They are adorned with what appear to be paper bonnets, reminiscent of the work \u201cA Festa\u201d by Ant\u00f3nio Dacosta, a friend of Pomar. Two lines on the right side guide the viewer\u2019s gaze toward the calves, creating a sense of dynamism characteristic of the artist\u2019s style.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Text: In\u00eas Machado<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/museu-angra.cultura.azores.gov.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/banner-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12348 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museu-angra.cultura.azores.gov.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/banner-12.jpg 640w, https:\/\/museu-angra.cultura.azores.gov.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/banner-12-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>J\u00falio Pomar (January 10, 1926 \u2014 May 22, 2018) was a Portuguese visual artist from Lisbon, whose career began in the mid-20th century, belonging to the third generation of Portuguese modernist painters.
