Abstract

Starting from the observation of the complete obliteration of the artist Angelina Agostini and her works and that women are still subordinate to men, which is more evident on the artistic field, the article aims, firstly, to center the artist in the Brazilian Artistic Canon, approaching the “cultural turn” and the emergence of the Social History of Feminist Art as a historical, social, cultural and political framework for a contemporary understanding of the artist and her repositioning in the Brazilian artistic Canon, from a critical postmodern view which abandons the philosophical notion and instituted by the art history of male genius. Finally, based on previous conceptions and reflections, I will make two “feminist inscriptions” in two works by the artist, “nude male with back” (1912) and “Vanity” (1913).
