Isa Aderne graduated in painting and engraving from the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes (National School of Fine Arts) in Rio de Janeiro. Her woodcuts, dating back to the 1960s, presented a popular slant and a particular concern for the social, showing a sharp political tone. The artist has said that "the art of engraving makes possible the encounter of people with themselves." It is said that her work was greatly influenced by the famous Brazilian engraver and illustrator Oswaldo Goeldi and by German Expressionism. For a time, Goeldi was a respected and influential art teacher at the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes. Aderne was a teacher of engraving and woodcut at institutions of higher learning in Rio de Janeiro and in Uruguay. From 1968-2006, Aderne participated in more than two dozen exhibitions. less
