This dissertation aims to investigate the contribution of the pernambucan artist Ladjane Bandeira (1927-1999) to the Visual Arts education in the city of Recife, between 1952 and 1955, through her work as an art critic. In order to achieve this overarching goal, the study presents and contextualizes the artist's journey through Literature and Visual Arts amidst the social constraints of the 20th century in Brazil; it analyzes her critical production published in the "Página Arte" section of the pernambucan newspaper "Diário da Noite" from november 1952 to august 1955, with an educational approach. This is an Arts Based Research that is epistemologically grounded in the Triangular Approach, proposed by Ana Mae Barbosa, as it acknowledges that the meaning of the investigation is constructed along the path and, thus, experiments with other forms of knowledge production by relating the three actions of the Triangular Approach - creating, reading, and contextualizing. Regarding the procedures, the study employs a historical review to recover the position of a female artist who contributed to educational processes in Visual Arts and whose name is not always recorded in the compendiums of Brazilian Art history and teachings. The bibliographical and documentary character of the study is based on a documentary survey which identified 124 publications of "Página Arte", with 6 from 1952, 48 from 1953, 40 from 1954, and 30 from 1955. The content analysis of the documentary material did not define predefined categories, but rather emerged from the identification of the themes developed in her critiques: discourses on art and its possible roles; its potential theoretical foundations; presented artists and recommended art spaces; mentions of Visual Arts education programs; the need for specific spaces for Visual Arts education; the difficulties of the local art scene; and the opportunities for access to art for the population of Pernambuco. The study concludes that the artist contributed to the Visual Arts education in the city of Recife between the years 1952 and 1955 through an active rather than speculative approach. Her purpose of visual education was added to the ongoing efforts of renewal in the Brazilian 20th century art scene as she sought to engage her readers in the modernist movement debate, taking on the responsibility to educate in modernist codes to expand their reception, which are slowly perceived and depend on pedagogical action for such.
