Jaime Isidoro (1924 - 2009)

Jaime Isidoro

Jaime Isidoro is a Portuguese artist. Studied drawing and painting at Escola Soares dos Reis, Porto. For the first time he exhibited individually in 1945 (Porto). Parallel to his career as an artist, he has engaged in a wide range of activities as a cultural animator, gallery owner and teacher associated with important visual arts moments in the city of Porto and in the country. Since the urban landscape, especially the city of Porto, was the subject of many of his works, he initially created figurative works with sensitive formal simplifications, later developing into abstraction. His career as an artist has been marked by two distinct periods that define different phases: the first occurred in the mid-1940s and mid-1950s, while the second developed from the second half of the 1980s.
