Mário Eloy
Mário Eloy (15 March 1900 in Algés – 5 September 1951 in Lisbon) was a Portuguese expressionist painter.
Eloy was born in
Carl Hofer
.
After returning to Portugal, he became the best representative from expressionism in the Portuguese painting. Some of his latter works, like "Enterro" (c. 1940), in his references, seems to anticipate the surrealism painting in Portugal.
In year 1944, he had to leave painting due to a serious
mental disease and spent the rest of his life in a mental institution at Rio de Mouro
, where he died.
