Claiming that "we already have enough watercolor painters," Alfredo Roque Gameiro encouraged his youngest daughter, Màmía, to paint in oil instead. If lack of variety was his worry, he worried in vain. Raquel and Màmía distinguished themselves as illustrators. Ruy followed a promising career in sculpture (having tragically died while still young). With the addition of the two younger sons-in-law, the clan widened its artistic breath considerably. José Leitão de Barros worked on numerous projects and ideas (including the 1940 Portuguese World Exhibition) and developed an intense activity in the field of cinema. Jaime Martins Barata, in turn, distinguished himself in large-scale painting (especially fresco painting) and in designing stamps and coins.
