Maria Alice da Silva Jorge (1924 — 2008) was a Portuguese painter, engraver, ceramicist, and book illustrator and co-author of a book on engraving for students. Initially following a neorealist style, her work later became more abstract. One of the most important personalities in the Portuguese engraving renewal movement of the 1950s, she was banned from teaching art for 19 years because of her support for the families of political prisoners.[1][2]
