English Version | Arts Issue: Backstage

Arts Issue

What happens backstage at Vogue Portugal, doesn't stay backstage at Vogue Portugal.

Here's your all access pass to our Arts Issue.

Be, for backstage

The stage was different and so was the band: the audience was replaced by the lens, and the musicians were replaced by the Vogue Portugal production team. Center stage, the usual suspect, albeit with a different role. For Corpo ao manifesto, on page 270, Giulia changes her wardrobe from that of a singer to that of a model, and stars in the editorial whose backstage you can see at vogue.pt via the QR Code.

Better than crosswords

It's crossing makeup: in the illustrated editorial signed by Nuno da Costa, creativity does not end with the artist's interpretation of the lines of eye shadows or the shades of lipsticks and lipgloss. In this series of Beauty pages entitled Finger Painting, on page 160, the sheets are divided in two to multiply the looks, which begin by being imagined by Vogue, and are then unfolded into a thousand and one interpretations by our readers.

Did you know…

…there’s a lot to be said about art? These quotes from renowned names prove it. “I dream of a painting and I paint my dream” - Vincent van Gogh. “Art is the lie that allows us to realize the truth.” - Pablo Picasso “A painter must always begin with a coat of black on the canvas, because all things in nature are dark except when exposed to light.” - Leonardo da Vinci. “Everyone should, every day at least, listen to a little song, read a good poem, see a beautiful painting and, if possible, say a few reasonable words.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. “Art is not what you see, it is what you make others see.” -Edgar Degas

Marina Abramović at the Royal Academy Of Arts

“It’s the best exhibition of my life”, the artist admits to Vogue Portugal about her solo show in London. The complete interview with Abramović, who stars on one of the covers of this issue, is in The Artist is (Omni)Present, on page 196; the Royal Academy of Arts exhibition together with Marina, an honorary member of the museum, is in London, as we speak. It opened on September 23rd and runs until January 1st, 2024, presenting a selection of key works from the performer's more than half a century career. Not being a retrospective, as Marina points out in this issue’s article, Marina Abramović recovers pieces from her portfolio from different periods, not only through a look at different projects with photographs, videos, objects and installations, but also by revisiting the art form that characterizes it so much: performance art. There are four iconic pieces re-interpreted live by different artists in the museum's galleries - Imponderabilia, 1977, Nude with Skeleton, 2002, Luminosity, 1997, and The House with the Ocean View, 2002 -, and the archive collection includes ex-libris by the Serbian artist such as Rhythm 5, 1974, Balkan Baroque, 1997, or The Lovers, Great Wall Walk, 1988.
