"Notas d'arte" by António de Lemos is a collection of art critiques and reflections written in the early 20th century. Through detailed observations and personal impressions, the author discusses various exhibitions and artworks, highlighting the evolution of art in Portugal, the significance of artists, and the changing public perceptions of artistic expressions. The work serves as a commentary on the artistic landscape and the societal influences that shape it. At the start of "Notas d'arte," the editor's note addresses typographical errors in the text, leading into the author's introductory observations on how art reflects the customs of a society, citing philosopher Taine.
