Abstract

This text analyzes the woodcut work of José Francisco Borges, known as J. Borges, one of the most renowned folk artists from Latin America, and who describes the universe of popular culture in Northeast Brazil. We analyze four of his works, which are representative of certain thematic imagery from that region: the festivals, social customs, myths and fantastic narratives.
