Julio Pomar (1926-2018) was a Portuguese artist known for his lithographs and prints. He was a prominent figure in the Portuguese neo-realist movement, characterised by a figuration that connects the association of images developed by surrealism and the abstract expressionism seen in this piece. His work came out of his intense activity and a continuous desire for thematic diversification. He often referenced animals and mythological figures with combinations of tigers and rain hats, monkeys, and heads. His works are displayed internationally as well has being housed in a stunning new museum in Lisbon.
