OSINSKI, Dulce Regina Baggio. The I Salon of Children's Art: appointments on the child’s artistic expression by the art critic José Geraldo Vieira (1961). Educ. Rev. [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.73, pp.87-104.  Epub Jan 25, 2019. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.62760.

This article analyzes the articles written by the writer, literary critic and art critic José Geraldo Vieira (1897-1977), published in the newspaper Folha de São Paulo in 1961, on the occasion of the exhibition of children’s paintings and drawing that took place in the “Folha” Art Gallery as part of the I Salon of Children’s Art, promoted by that newspaper. The event was part of a series of actions supported by movements that defended the importance of children's free artistic expression as part of their educational and developmental process. In these texts, the author comments about the characteristics of the artistic manifestation of children which will be put in tension with ideas that circulated in the period about the theme. As privileged sources we used articles published in Folha de São Paulo and other newspapers, such as Diário de Notícias, and Correio da Manhã.
