The collection, comprising paintings and drawings gathered over nearly two decades, represents a significant legacy from Graça Morais to Bragança. The exhibition, titled “Graça Morais - Doações ao CACGM - Bragança”, allows visitors to follow the evolution of the artist's work, one of the foremost figures in contemporary Portuguese art, and revisit themes such as the human condition, the relationship with nature, and social issues.
The donations, made over 18 years, attest to Graça Morais's close relationship with Bragança and the Contemporary Art Centre, ensuring that a substantial part of her artistic output is preserved in the city, available to the public and future generations.
“"These 121 works represent a legacy of enormous value for Bragança and a gesture of great generosity from Graça Morais. It is also a demonstration of the connection the artist maintains with the city and with the Art Centre that bears her name. We have the responsibility to preserve this heritage, to make it known, and to ensure that new generations can continue to discover and value the work of one of the greatest Portuguese artists."
