Abstract

This text is an experience report of the work carried out, since 2022, at the Conservation and Restoration Center of the Federal University of Espírito Santo. For now, the objective is to present preliminary results of the research and analyzes carried out when intervening in large-format color photographs, discussing here the case study of the remains of the series “Indians of Brazil”, partially exhibited at the aforementioned University in 1995. Authored by photographer/artist Vitor Nogueira, the reflection on what was produced and its current state of conservation allows for a technical and poetic assessment in relation to the use of color.

Gravura que mostra a colheita do cacau em cores vivas, com grande contraste entre copas das árvores, ao fundo, alaranjadas e arroxeadas, o céu azul claro esverdeado, um montanha em verde escuro, quase marrom. Um plano mais próximo, há arvores baixas, com copas de um verde mais claro, seguidas de uma casa baixa com varanda de colunas brancas e telhado de telhas terracota. À frente da casa há um gramado verde claro e, em primeiro plano, trabalhadores e trabalhadoras negros recolhendo o cacau seco do chão, em balaios palha. Na parte superior, lê-se Elemento cor: percepção, presença, representação. Na parte inferior, lê-se COL22: revista do colóquio de arte e pesquisa do Programa de Pós-graduação em artes da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo.
