With the purpose of analyzing José de Dome’s artistic production as well as his importance for visual arts and its teaching, this work investigated his development and acting on his social environment, between 1955, when his first individual exhibition was held, and 1981, which marked the last exhibition of his life. This study is grounded on a qualitative approach as well as the theoretical and methodological framework of Cultural History, alert to Pierre Bourdieu’s (2001) warning about “illusory biography”, “indiciary paradigm” brought forward by Carlo Ginzburg (1989) and the “fissures and contradictions of normative systems” analyzed by Giovanni Levi (1992). It also grounds itself on the teachings of Norbert Elias (1996) and Vavy Pacheco Borges (2014) about the genre biography. For a history of modern art, we turned to the studies undertaken by Giulio Carlo Argan (2001) about Expressionism, and José D’Assunção Barros’ observations concerning the importance of African art in the history of modern art. As to the issues relating to the Afro-Brazilian art, we relied on the work by Arnaldo Marques da Cunha (2015). For the analysis of the artistic images, we made use of the concepts developed by Erwin Panofsky (2012) about the “meaning in the visual arts”, and the studies by Michael Baxandall (2006) about the “fabric of human intentions in the historical explanation of pictures”. In the light of the theoretical and methodological postulates of Cultural History that structure the biographical genre, we searched through printed texts, especially newspapers that circulated during the biographee’s lifetime as well as the interviewees’ statements in which he was given a mention. We established an articulation between the artist’s life experiences and his production, by placing some emphasis on the individual and his accomplishments. We pointed out that, on José de Dome’s paintings, his formal freedom, focus on Brazilian themes and chromatism confer upon his art particularly autochthonous characteristics, which place his name amongst the representatives of Brazilian Expressionism in the history of visual arts. We regard this work as a contribution to the teaching-learning process in the visual arts, since it produces knowledge on the reading of artistic images as well as the history of visual Arts and its producers.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
