Thanks for this great summation of the way the Portuguese integrate invigorating, colorful art into spaces that might otherwise represent nothing more than the drab drudgery of the daily commute to work. Obrigado!
We'll talk about bifanas in another post. You haven't missed anything yet far as we can tell! You're usually the first one on everything we put out :-D.
I like them all! What's a bifana? The pianist looks familiar but I can't place her. Pls. tell me who she is. FYI, the DC Metro was built in, I think, the '80s, so it's a lot newer than the early 1900s. It's already showing signs of age. Hopefully the one in Lisbon won't. Phyl

We love the art, too. The Parque station has loads of writing, some in French. Entre Campos also.
Picoas has my vote with the pianist a close second! Looking forward to more subway art!
Did I miss a description of bifana?

Let's see if anyone else has a guess on the pianist first. And we'll cover bifanas later. :-D
