Our Books
Artur Pastor
Portugal paรญs de contrastes
A photographic tour that takes us from the interior to the coast, the countryside to the city, the ancient to the modern, invoking Pastorโs ambivalent restlessness through his own images. The book contains 250 black and white photographs.
Co-published by Majericon and the Cรขmara Municipal de Lisboa (Lisbon City Council).
Azulejos Padrรฃo – Lisboa
Azulejos Padrรฃo – Lisboa focuses on the characteristic patterned tiles that decorate the facades of buildings throughout Lisbon. Similar in size to a real tile with a spot varnished cover, you’d think you were holding an actual tile in your hand. The book contains over 250 colour photographs as well as a list revealing where each photo was taken.

OVO
Heโs become a Portuguese icon yet the secret to his brilliant plumage has never been revealed. OVO is a wordless picture book that takes us on a journey through Portugal, showing us how the Galo de Barcelos caught his distinct colours after deciding he didnโt want to end up in an egg tart.
