Continuing a programming especially focused on the Portuguese design, the Casa do Design, in Matosinhos, will receive, permanently, the exhibition Almanac - Portuguese Graphic Design in magazine. This exhibit reunites a wide range of magazines, introducing the history of design, illustration and typography in Portugal. In the magazines we encounter reflected the characteristics of a time: styles, fashions, currents, ideas and authors. The history of design can not be dissociated from a cultural history - from technical means, artistic currents, political or economic context - that in their freedom or conditioned by censorship, avant-garde or defending values installed, magazines end up mirroring. This exhibition, composed by magazines from José Bartolo’s collection, shows 150 years of graphic design in Portugal over different perspectives. It allows a panoramic vision, about the history of ideas, aesthetic currents; technological transformations, but allows, also, to observe detail and author analysis.
