Abstract: José Oliveira é um artista do livro que se inspira na história e na evolução do livro e da escrita ocidentais. Os seus livros de artista assumem a forma de códices, rolos e leporellos, e incorporam as crenças, mágoas e esperanças do autor. Interrogam as nossas conceções sobre o livro e sobre a natureza da leitura. Constituem testemunhos de uma recusa evidente das técnicas contemporâneas do livro.
José Oliveira is a book artist who takes inspiration from the history and evolution of the Western book and of Western writing. His artist’s books take the form of codices, scrolls and leporellos and embody the beliefs, grief and hopes of their author. They ask us about our conceptions of the book and the nature of reading. They are evidences of their author’s resolute rejection of contemporary techniques applied to books.
