Abstract

This article reveals new data regarding Almada Negreiros' research on art and geometry. From several books in the author's personal library, a previously unpublished manuscript and drawing, we present several new conclusions regarding Almada's referents. The authors who inspired him, the images he explicitly quotes, and even personal relationships with other authors, are the basis for a better understanding of how his geometric research developed. This new knowledge will also contribute to an accurate dating of many of the author's works
