Abstract

This work seeks to discuss the images of the Amazonia in works by visual artists from the specialized artistic field in Brazil, from the beginning of the 20th century to the present. The theoretical-methodological basis moves between the social history of art and the anthropology of image. The images and works are shown in their links with political and aesthetic ideologies about the Amazon, from the formulation of the “conquest of the region”
discourse, through the various formulations of “amazon identities” based on natural and human landscapes, to the construction of the discourse of the need for cultural and political resistance against westernization.
