Textile design: print of life in the history of art

Abstract

This article is based on research on the evolution of textile printing and its relationship with cultural and artistic memory in the 20th century in Brazil and specifically at Companhia Têxtil Ferreira Guimarães. Through the memories and objects of individual and/or collective memory, represented through images in the narratives of cultural, social and political history and those related to research in terms of textile heritage, we can rethink Ferreira Guimarães' relationship with the artistic scene and cultural history of the city of Juiz de Fora. The result of this research is the growing perception that textile design is one of the many forms of representation of personal and social history and constantly seeks its references and inspirations in works and artists enshrined in the history of art.
