«Lisboa gráfica» is the visual essay by Manuel Paula (Manuela Paula), published by Gradiva in hardcover (168 pages, in Portuguese), exploring the urban graphic heritage of the Portuguese capital.
The book brings together images of historical and modern signage and graphics from the streets of Lisbon: painted glass, tiles, wrought ironwork, bas-reliefs, carpentry and other decorative elements that often go unnoticed. The author pays tribute to the artists and craftsmen who, with pencil, brush and chisel, drew, painted and engraved facades, doors, thresholds and banners, and proposes rediscovering the city from an artistic and affectionate perspective.
Published in 2003 by Gradiva.
Aimed at readers interested in urban graphic design, applied typography and the visual heritage of Lisbon.
