Carlos Paulo Martínez Pereiro on Cruzeiro Seixas
September 2019

Carlos Paulo Martínez Pereiro collaborates in the catalog of the retrospective devoted to the homem que pinta and writer Cruzeiro Seixas (Amadora, 1920) by the Portuguese Centre  for Surrealism.


In the text "De um segredo distorcido e maravilhosamente absurdo / On a distressed and wonderfully absurd secret", reproduced in the catalog of the exhibition Cruzeiro Seixas — ao longo do longo camino / Cruzeiro Seixas — along the long way, on the one hand, a  Cruzeirian poème objet is focused, now known as "A chávena com asa por dentro, como todos nos" and thus characterized, in difference (but without variationem), in connection to the 1954 objet trouvé, or ready-made, significantly titled by the author at the time as " Daily Life". On the other hand, nuances are established with his poem "Rosa-chá adormecida numa nuvem" and with other literary and plastic works of the tradition of the antitradition, by him or other authors, aiming at greater and better understanding of the plural senses and complex meanings of the work of this stubborn and exemplary surrealist.
