Lopes Bertina

Bertina Lopes was a Mozambican/Italian artist who was born in 1924 in Maputo, Mozambique and who died in 2012 in Rome, Italy. She was a painter and sculptor. Lopes' work was influenced by multiple sources, including Mozambican art and Portuguese modernism. Between 1946 and 1956 she embraced the art of Western painters and South American graffiti artists.[1] After Picasso's death in 1970, Lopes paid tribute to him with an intense painting that symbolized political repression in Spain.[4] Once Lopes got closer to anti-fascist circles, she began to resist the idea of ​​"arte negra (black art) and found inspiration in the poetry of José Craveirinha and Noémia de Sousa, incorporating social themes into her work. The work van Lopes was also deeply influenced by the political events that afflicted her homeland, particularly in the period following independence and the civil war between FRELIMO and RENAMO.Many of Lopes' work featured African fairy tales and stories related to the political events that took place at the time of production.(Internet)
