On the occasion of the 90th birth anniversary of the scholar, writer,
artist, musicologist and linguist Dr José Pereira (1931-2015), Goa1556 has published a bouquet of words and memories to remember the accomplished Goan personality and true Renaissance Man.
José Pereira was Professor Emeritus of Theology of Fordham University, New York; he taught in various academic institutions in Lisbon, London, and Varanasi.
He published 20 books and over 140 articles on theology, history of art, on Goan and Konkani culture, language, literature and music.
José Pereira paintings were a part of the Display of Eastern Art at the Vatican and his most recent works included the fresco murals at Borda and Fatorda.
“I see myself as a product of two traditions: one is the Latin-Christian tradition and the other is the Indian Hindu tradition. So, in order to bring to expression these traditions, I had to do extensive research.” noted, Dr Pereira.
