The painter António Cruz wanders around the city of Porto painting what he sees: old and modern buildings, people arriving and leaving work in the factories, children playing. The impressionist realism of Cruz’s drawings dissolves into Oliveira’s vision of Porto, which at the same time portrays the painter and his work.
The Artist and the City was directed by Manoel de Oliveira.
The Artist and the City runs for 26min, and was released in 1956.
