Summary: Beginning the reflection with modernism in art and the advent of photography, this research intends to make a study of the relations of photography and painting through the history of modern art, choosing works of art and arts theories to base these reflections. In addition, I bring here a concern with meanings of the image inherent in our life, such as index, memory, record of what existed, and affirmations of past and possible facts to know due to the existence of the technical image. Through the study of the works of several artists and theorists of photography, image, painting and art history, I intend to understand and fill a small gap in questions about how photography is used in the creation process of a figurative painting, uniting the research in texts, reflections and interviews with young Brazilian artists. I intend to understand, in addition to my own very empirical point of view, how the use of these technical images (Vilém Flussers terms) occurs, and what relation the artist who makes figurative painting has with photography in his creation. These photographs range from authoring, appropriation and collage, and are a further implication of this poetic process.
In short, in this research the analyzes are intended to elucidate the ways and means of use of the photographic image by contemporary painters, and in what form this relationship builds bridges with the memory evoked by the photo and meanings contained in the image.
Keywords: painting, photography, image, contemporary art.
