The 1960s and 1970s were times of change in the work and life of Júlio Pomar. He moved from Lisbon to Paris and, following his renowned Bullfighting series, he explored new themes in his paintings. During this period, he held successful exhibitions in both cities, including at the Louvre Museum in 1971.

Despite being sensitive to the artistic ruptures of the time, he did not align himself with any specific groups or schools. Instead, he embarked on a personal journey of questioning and experimenting with his art. In 1966, he destroyed dozens of paintings and, shortly after, he began creating assemblages from found materials. He then shifted the focus of his painting with series dedicated to Rugby and May 1968. 

The changes in Pomar’s work paralleled the revolutions of the era, including the May 1968 protests in Paris and the April Revolution in Lisbon. This exhibition delves into this period of exploration and reorientation in Pomar’s career, showcasing works that have not been exhibited for a long time.
