As part of the commemorations of the Centenary of Mário Soares, linked to the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the 25 April Revolution and the four decades since the signing of Portugal’s Accession Treaty to the EEC, the photographic exhibition “Mário Soares: A Man in Full” is both a historical and artistic record of one of the foremost protagonists of contemporary Portugal.
A unique visual testimony, the 50 photographs on display were taken over three decades by Luís Vasconcelos: during the revolutionary period, the consolidation of democracy and later, as President of the Republic. They reveal remarkable public and private moments of Mário Soares, capturing his many facets and expressions in diverse settings and circumstances.
