Abstract

This work is dedicated to the art of the Brazilian woodcut, not the learned art learnt in schools or academic centres or still composed by masters of the antiquity, but for his use in the contemporary. We will treat the art carried out in the Brazilian Northeast, the most wasteful region in this type of art at present, through his most important fi gure and undoubtedly more expressive, in other words, the master J. Borges. The history of J. Borges gets confused with the history of the Brazilian string. We will quote for several times the string, since East intrinsically connected with the woodcut is, art with which there are made the illustrations that cover these serial publications, and J. Borges was always in love with this literature. The fi gures and fantastic histories contained in the strings, which were transmitted J. Borges and to his brothers, started to populate his imaginary; because of being a quite humble family, like so many other people existent in this region, the string was his only contact with the world of the arts and of the literature. The passion for the String, cultivated in the childhood, got a beating J. Borges to invest in a new commission, and, in the middle of the 50’s, he started to resell Strings bought in Recife, in popular markets of the village in which he was living. Because of his self-confi dence and creativity, the sale began to bring him in results, and gradually the worker of the civil construction was giving place to a trader J. Borges. The contact with the string intensifi ed with this his new work, was a considerable step for which the history of J. Borges as folk Brazilian artist began in 1964. Stimulated by Antonio Ferreira da Silva, veteran poet of the region, he wrote his fi rst string, “The meeting of two cowboys in Sertão de Petrolina”, which made a great success, with illustration of the master Dila, of Caruaru, city of the rural person from Pernambuco. The meeting of J. Borges with main Dila would bring a great change in the life of J. Borges.
