NOVA University Lisbon remembers João Cutileiro as a national and international artistic reference

NOVA University Lisbon received with deep regret the news of the passing of João Cutileiro, and sends the most heartfelt condolences to the family.

“National and international artistic reference, with a social commitment that distinguished him as an artist and also as a citizen and that NOVA paid tribute to, João Cutileiro has inspired several generations of plastic artists over the years and contributed strongly to the prestige of Portuguese sculpture” - recalls João Sàágua, Rector of NOVA.

In 2017, NOVA University Lisbon decided to distinguish João Cutileiro with the title of Doctor Honoris Causa in recognition of his work and for the innovation that he brought to sculptural art, especially in the representation of human morphology.
