Jorge Nicholson Moore Barradas, nicknamed "Barradinhas" (1894–1971), was a Portuguese modernist painter, ceramicist, illustrator, and caricaturist, who was noted for chronicling social changes. He had a multifaceted career, establishing himself first as a humourist and in drawings for advertising, and later on as a painter. From the mid-1940s, he redirected his work, dedicating himself to ceramics and tiles. He is considered a key figure in the renewal of this field in Portugal.
