As capas da Bossa Nova: encontros e desencontros dessa história visual (LPs da elenco, 1963)

Abstract

The visual process of Bossa Nova LPs covers designed between the 50’s and the 60’s as historical and cultural elements is the dissertation analysis focus, and has as main object of research Elenco’s covers from 1963. The hypothesis is that these LP’s covers don’t have a static meaning inherent in a traditional approach of the image as a document but an image built in a sociohistorical context fulfilled by cultural traces. The methodology is consisted of putting together specific and different languages (memories, society and art), in search of understanding the conflict and tension of this dialogue, but not treating them like opposite polarities. It allows an analytic narrative about the great importance of the visual (r)evolution of Bossa Nova LPs cover.
