Narrativas visuais da imprensa: uma análise da contribuição de artistas visuais no Correio das Artes (1980-1981).

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the contribution of visual artists from Paraíba to the Literary Supplement Correio das Artes during the first year of Sérgio de Castro Pinto direction (1980-1981). With the purpose of promoting and disseminating artistic and literary production, Correio das Artes was founded by the poet and journalist Edson Régis and first circulated on March 27, 1949 as an insert in the newspaper A União. This investigation sought to understand the press as a producer, promoter and distributor of culture, along the lines of cultural journalism. The research was developed from a qualitative approach, with an emphasis on the documentary modality, seeking to identify the participation of visual artists on the covers and illustrations in the pages of Correio das Artes. Through the documentary approach, 34 editions of the supplement were examined, two editions being selected for a more detailed analysis, which resulted in the identification of Correio das Artes as an important space for the dissemination of the work of visual artists from Paraíba.
