Simão César Dórdio Gomes (1890 - 1976)

Portuguese artist Dórdio Gomes first studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Lisbon before moving to Paris in 1910 on a scholarship to the Julian Academy. After losing the scholarship in 1911 he returned to Portugal. In 1921 we once again went to Paris where he attended the National School of Fine Arts. While he remained in Paris for 5 years he also travelled throughout Europe where the art he experienced influenced his own style. He settled in Porto, Portugal in 1933, where he taught at the School of Fine Arts from 1934 until 1960, thus passing on his own influence to the painters of the 1940's/1950's.
