Life and work
Alexandre Manuel Vahía de Castro O’ Neill de Bulhões, simply signed, as a poet, Alexandre O’ Neill, a nickname that his father had already used, inherited from an Irish ancestor who fled to Lisbon in the 40s of the 18th century. He was born in Lisbon on December 19, 1924 and died in his city before turning 62, overcome by a tumultuous life and multiple cardiovascular complications, on August 21, 1986.
From his childhood, Alexandre preserved the memory of a sad and closed-off boy, peering down Rua da Alegria from a fourth floor; the brief and memorable visits from grandmother Maria O’ Neill, also a writer. He met Teixeira de Pascoaes on vacation in Amarante. As a teenager, he began reading: in addition to his writer grandmother, the family was traditionally bibliophile. His father, a banker by profession, had a vast library and attended a Fine Arts course.
O' Neill, despite never having been a professional writer, always lived from his writing or work related to books – he would go on to work in advertising, be a chronicler at Diário de Lisboa, A Capital and, in the 80s, at JL, indifferently writing prose and poetry, which he republished in a book. He was also coordinator of a Gulbenkian Itinerant Library, translator and literary advisor. His work represents a milestone in Portuguese poetry and a symbol of freedom, democracy, the fight against the Salazar regime and against all types of oppression.
Sculptural Reading
Sculpture
In Black Ruivina de Estremoz marble. Presented in a surreal, sectioned, fragmented way, in which the poet has no hands and almost no thighs. Pharaonic feet. Chest Black wing of the crow – Reference to his work; Fly – present in many texts of his poetic work. A symbolism that cannot be revealed.
Poetic Reading
The sculptural elements refer to the fine irony and sarcasm that demolishes O’Neill’s poetry and spirit. Of an interventional nature.
