Abstract

This paper analyzes important documents compiled by the sculptor Julieta França, the first Brazilian female artist to be awarded with a voyage abroad (towards the end of 1900). The album titled Souvenir de Ma Carrière Artistique [Memoirs of my Career as an Artist], part of the Museu Paulista of the University of São Paulo, is a reference as far as the history of Brazilian art is concerned because it brings together a variety of rare and invaluable documents - e.g. newspaper clippings, photographs of her own works, and letters exchanged with the Director of the National School of Fine Arts. The author tries to look at this album as an autobiography of distinctive character, where the artist selected, organized and attributed meaning to the documents for the purpose of obtaining public recognition for her work.
