António Cruz distinguished himself above all as a watercolor artist trained in an English tradition. In the case of these watercolors, the influence of the Euston Road School, especially of Victor Pasmore and of the paintings he carried out on the Thames in Chiswick, is pregnant. Moreover, it is the Thames himself that António Cruz paints in Inverness with a fine technique, drawing from the watercolor a great variety of light. The landscape develops as an atmospheric moment, exhibiting contrasts between a darker and dense zone with others where the presence of the support erupts as if it were the timbre of luminous reflections. In the foreground, some figures wander, vaguely outlined, yet their importance subsumes itself in the atmosphere and their presence only reinforces an immanent dimension. It will be above all the general dissolution of the landscape and its abstracting sense that makes the production of António Cruz relevant to the second modernist generation.
