Rogério Ribeiro, "1º de Maio", 1976
Oil on Canvas Signed and Dated Verso
Dimensions: 161 × 129 cm
Portugal, 1976
This striking large-scale painting by Rogério Ribeiro (1930–2008), a central figure in 20th-century Portuguese modernism, exemplifies the artist’s bold approach to political and abstract expression. Titled “1º de Maio” (May 1st), the work directly references International Workers' Day—a theme that aligns with Ribeiro’s frequent engagement with social justice and collective identity.
Executed in oil on canvas, this 1976 composition is a powerful visual statement, constructed through dynamic brushwork, layered textures, and high-contrast color fields. Dominated by an intense palette of red, orange, and earthy tones, the painting evokes the fervor of public demonstrations and the structured energy of a mass gathering. An abstracted crowd surges through the canvas, framed by architectural bands that add rhythm and visual containment to the composition.
The back of the canvas bears the artist’s inscription and date, further confirming its authenticity and political intent. This piece was created two years after the Carnation Revolution (1974), during a period of intense political transformation in Portugal, which deeply influenced Ribeiro’s work.
Rogério Ribeiro held an influential role in both artistic and academic circles in Portugal, with a career spanning painting, muralism, illustration, and design. His works are held in major Portuguese collections and museums, and he is celebrated for his contributions to public art and visual culture during the country’s post-revolutionary period.
