He studied etching and engraving techniques at the Slade School of Fine Art, London. Later he became a Professor of printmaking (for 35 years) at this school and Emeritus Professor in Fine Art at the University of London. As well, he was an artist in residence and teacher at several universities in both Sweden and the United States. A constant innovator, Bartolomeu dos Santos s etchings often combine both stones and plates. He has illustrated a number of fine books with his etchings, including several by Jose Saramago. Since 1960 exhibitions of his etched art have taken place in the United States, Britain, Portugal, Macao and Japan. Such major institutions as the British Museum, London, the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, and the Museum of Modern Art, Rio de Janeiro, include his etchings in their permanent collections. In 2002 the Galeria Municipal Osiris, launched a major retrospective exhibition, entitled, Bartolomeu dos Santos Sonhos, Viagens e Realidades. Bartolomeu dos Santos currently lives and works in Tavira, Portugal. N° de ref. del artículo 3406
