A Monthly Culture Matrix For the Cosmopolitan Traveler

Maria Helena Vieira da Silva


Di Donna / New York / Art

The painter Maria Helena Vieira da Silva (1908 to 1992), born in Portugal and raised in Paris, was known for blurring the lines between representation and abstraction. A pioneer of the Art Informel movement, Vieira da Silva painted cityscapes and interiors as geometrically faceted spaces (a glance at Cubism).

To inaugurate its online viewing room, Di Donna dedicates a glowing online retrospective to Vieira da Silva. —E.C.
