阿玛迪奥-卡多索，布面油画，1911年，欧洲数位图书馆藏，100x73cm
Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso was a portuguese painterand a pioneer of abstraction. His work blended Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, and Futurism. His early works, under the tutelage of the Spanish painter Anglada Camarasa, were stylistically close to impressionism. Around 1910, influenced both by cubism and by futurism, he became one of the first modern Portuguese painters. His style is aggressive and vivid both in form and colour and his works may seem random or chaotic in their compositional structure at first sight but are clearly defined and balanced. Some of Amadeo's ink drawings, decorative but always figurative, slightly resemble those of Aubrey Beardsley.
阿玛迪奥-德索萨-卡多索是一位葡萄牙画家和抽象艺术的先驱。他的作品融合了印象主义、野兽主义、立体主义和未来主义。他早期受到西班牙画家安格拉达-卡马拉萨的指导，在风格上接近印象派。1910年左右，受立体主义和未来主义的影响，阿玛迪奥成为葡萄牙第一批现代画家。他的风格在形式和色彩上都很激进生动，构图结构乍看似乎是随机混乱的，却有着明确的定义和平衡。阿玛迪奥的一些水墨画具有装饰性，但总是具象的，与奥布里-比尔兹莱的作品略有相似。
Greyhounds, painted in 1911, is an early work of Art Nouveau. Note the curved, undulating lines and the overlapping black and white. The pure colors and smooth, flat paints move away from the highly-modeled chiaroscuro. Even though these are benchmarks of Art Nouveau, you can see how Cardoso was also influenced by tradition; the running hares add a “barbaric” contrast to the simple stateliness of the rest of the piece. Sadly, Cardoso would never get to see the Art Nouveau and modernism at their full bloom. He died prematurely in 1918, at age 30, from the Spanish Flu.
《灰狗》（Greyhounds）画于1911年，是新艺术运动的早期作品。请注意看蜿蜒曲折的线条与重叠的黑色和白色。纯粹的色彩和光滑平整的颜料抛弃了高度模式化的明暗对比法。即使这些都是新艺术运动的基准，但可以看到卡多索也受到传统的影响；奔跑的野兔与作品其他部分的庄严形成了“野蛮”的对比。遗憾的是，卡多索没能看到新艺术运动和现代主义的盛行。1918年，他因西班牙流感而过早地去世，年仅30岁。
