Abstract(s)
The present dissertation has as its theme the technical study and the respective conservation and restoration intervention of one of the works of the Portuguese painter João Ayres (1921-2001). Ayres had a vast artistic production, however his work as a contemporary painter has been barely studied. From the existing artworks, one painting on wood was selected, produced in Mozambique in 1948. The criterion for selecting was its state of conservation. In this case, the work was selected due to its advanced state of degradation. The constituent materials, construction techniques and intervention strategies were systematically analyzed. The investigation was phased. However, the different phases were related to each other, since the knowledge concerning the original constituent materials allowed, on the one hand, to understand the degradation processes of the works and, on the other hand, to acquire information for decision-making about the intervention methodologies. The knowledge acquired through the analysis of the artist's vast collection allowed an even more detailed understanding of the construction techniques used in the production of his artworks. The study regarding research strategies aimed to broaden our knowledge about each of the intervention stages, whether in the supports or in the pictorial layer, and therefore, they were defined after a bibliographic review of each of the treatments and respective materials. In this field, it is noteworthy the lack of specific bibliography for support treatments in plywood, and with this project it was intended to make known the different phases that encompass an intervention of this nature. The problem of support consolidation and restructuring stands out amongst the treatments performed throughout the intervention. For the consolidation of the support, which was in an advanced state of rot and infestation, it was intended to formulate a methodology capable of reestablishing the cohesion of the woody particles and conferring mechanical resistance to the support; in the restructuring, it was intended to apply an alveolar-shaped balsa parquet system, with the aim of reinforcing the entire structure, in order to reestablish the stability of the support and prepare the painting for layout and exposure
