Aloísio Magalhães, cartemando

Abstract

Aloísio Magalhães creativity is known in both cultural as artistic fields. In this article
I try to approach the oeuvre he created according to the remarks made during
the printing of the Cruzeiro bills he had designed and which he followed up in Holland.
Back to Brazil, Aloísio used the procedure of the form repetition on common
post-cards, thus creating the Brazilian series and a series derived from the postcards of the collection Chefs d’Oeuvre de la Photographie, from the Agathe
Gaillard Gallery, Paris.
The Cartemas, as they were named by Antonio Houaiss, where exhibited
throughout the world, and became a reference to Aloísio’s work.
These collections attracted me and, in this research, I elected one of the
Cartemas to essay a structural investigation.
In order to do this, I believe it is necessary to understand Aloísio Magalhães
trajectory and his connections with graphic design in Brazil
