Posters of the film Canção de Lisboa
Fascinated by everything that was new and open to all forms of artistic expression, Almada Negreiros also explored film as a scenographer and even as an actor. Standing out amongst his works in this area are the posters he created for the film Canção de Lisboa (1939), a seminal work in Portuguese film.
