Vieira da Silva
Maria Helena Vieira da Silva (1908-1992) was a Portuguese abstract painter. She was considered a leading member of the European abstract expressionism movement known as Art Informel. However, Art Informel was not so much a movement, but rather a label given to an international affiliation of free-thinking artists who, in the words of Michel Tapié, were "much rarer, authentic individuals". Her works feature complex interiors and city views using lines that explore space and perspective. She also worked in tapestry and stained glass. In 1966 the French government awarded Vieira da Silva its Grand Prix National des Arts award, making her the first woman to receive the honor.
