Resumo

The present study aims towards investigating the conception of childhood in the works of Candido Portinari. Taking the united visions of History with Sociology and the cultural processes as a form of analysis, the discussion favours the descriptions of the discoveries about the child. It also makes an attempt to bring a new perspective on the positions about childhood, considering elements of Art and Education. The issues that guided this research were: What was the path traveled by the concept of childhood? What was the route of the conception of child? Is there a distinguishing idea of these elements in the society of the XX and XXI centuries? How can the work of Portinari serve as dialogue and support in the discussion about the child and the conception of childhood in the XX and XXI centuries? Is there a conception of childhood portrayed in the work of Candido Portinari? Which elements of the life and production of the author may enrich the reflection about the child, the conception of childhood and Education? The movement that structures the chapters resembles the formation of the ciranda and the advances of the discussion trying to establish an interlocution with the work of Portinari. It begins with the presentation of the conceptions that prepare the field of ideas according to the authors ideas that enriched the necessary awakening about the question of childhood, composing a real circle of glimpses that guided the investigation. The first step towards the pretensions of presenting the conception of childhood in the work of the chosen artist and stimulating the understanding of the images that relay a particular message about the artistic and educational field was to show the premises of Àries and Heywood, contrast the world historiography about children with other authors, who enlarge the discussion specifically in Brazil. The questions about the sentiment of childhood, the iconography and the care devoted to the little ones in the family deserved special attention in this discussion. The next step was to bring the Sociology of the Practice by Bourdieu in order to investigate how the sociological point of view is capable of uncovering the ideologies that include the discussion of childhood and propose a less naïve vision of the social structure. This is especially true when the sociological point of view indicates the nuances in the artistic field and the history of Portinari as an artist. The interpretations specific to the sociological point of view were added in the third step, which besides going back to the events that began new glimpses of the question of childhood, put into context the painter s background and the movement that laid the groundwork for a new understanding of art: Modernism. The final step presents the conclusion of the initial proposal, when means of the artist s images, eight of them, from de decades of 1930, 1940, 1950 and 1960, two of each decade, promotes a sensitive of the work, since it brings back the issues highlighted in the other moments of the research and takes on the commitment of outlining the portrait of the child according to historic, social and cultural aspects presented. The circle is completed in a constant movement that emphasizes the importance of an understanding of childhood in an educational dimension for the readers and that also contemplates the values of the journey of Art
