Júlio Maria dos Reis Pereira ComIH[1] (1 November 1902 – 17 January 1983), was a Portuguese painter and poet. He is better known by the two pseudonyms he used: Júlio, as a painter; and Saul Dias as a poet.[2][3] He was an important artist of the second generation of Portuguese Modernism. His art features a strong expression of lyricism and artistic explorations that could be connected with the expressionist and surrealist movements.[2][4]

Júlio was the younger brother of writer José Régio, with whom he formed an artistic partnership his whole life, illustrating many of his books.[2][5]
