MOVIMENTOS Perpétuos: Arte para Carlos Paredes. Lisboa. 2004. - MOVIMENTOS Perpétuos: Arte para Carlos Paredes . Lisboa: Movimentos Perpétuos, 2004. 294, [2] pp.: il.; 255 mm. Carlos Paredes (Coimbra, 1925 - Lisbon, 2004), guitarist and composer, is considered the most important interpreter of the Portuguese guitar in the 20th century. Son of the guitarist Artur Paredes, he was imprisoned in 1958 by the PIDE (Portuguese secret police) for eighteen months for his militancy in the Portuguese Communist Party; his music transcended the Estado Novo regime as a language of silent resistance. Movimentos Perpétuos (Perpetual Movements) was a pioneering multidisciplinary artistic project, developed in six phases throughout 2003 and 2004 in Lisbon, Porto, and Coimbra, which brought together 127 creators from diverse areas – visual arts, literature, music, comics, film, design – invited to create original works inspired by the master of the Portuguese guitar. This volume compiles all of these works and presents the participating artists, including Helena Almeida, Júlio Pomar, José Saramago, and Edgar Pêra. The project culminated with the seventh Perpetual Motion, the film Tribute to Carlos Paredes , by Edgar Pêra. Highly regarded. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
