Our study works with the comparison between some paintings of Cândido Portinari and the only juvenile book of Graciliano Ramos (A terra dos meninos pelados – Naked boys land). Based in commentaries of the own artists and of critics like Rodrigo Naves and Antonio Candido, we try to demonstrate there is in both artists a specific work way (that is, a basically invariable one), even in what we suppose innovated to both. Because that, we see become visible in A terra dos meninos pelados (a supposedly imaginative text) traces of a social perception that is also present in Graciliano’s greatest works; on the other hand, observing Portinari, we find out a certain degree of cubism and expressionism that is actually a rework according to his style. So the two go beyond what had been producing esthetically, but remain deeply coherent to a same model of artistic work.
