About this book

Chronicles written by artist Teresinha Soares between 1967 and 1983, published in three different newspapers of Belo Horizonte (Estado de Minas, Horizonte & Jornal do Automóvel Clube). They document her life experiences as wife and avant-garde artist, which despite her religious training was recognized as a muse of sexual liberation in the context of the society of Minas Gerais, the state where she was born in 1927. Comprising a selection of texts by art curator Rodrigo Moura, Therese's writings do not appear in a chronological way, but follow a thematic approach, dealing with everyday life, her work as an artist and her many trips. Therese, above all, was a woman ahead of her time.
