Abstract

This statement is the product of a Master's research, whose main objective was to know the architecture of the artistic work of the illustrator Rui de Oliveira and the contribution of the picture books of his authorship to the formation of the small reader of Children's Literature. Thus, it brings in its core some lines from one of the Dialogical Meetings held between the researcher and the illustrator referred to about the process of gestation of the work Max Emiliano with the intention of the reader to learn to read the illustrations in the direction of a deeper understanding of the present narrative. in the picture book. To achieve this purpose, the methodology used was the analysis of the work mentioned from the dialogue with the illustrator and the comparison with the theoretical framework of the philosophy of language with the thinking of some researchers of Literature and from illustrated books. As a result, the teaching of image/illustration reading at school, through Children's Literature books, contributes to the formation of the reader from a very young age, since it sensitively and aesthetically expands the look. This process of attributing meanings to the image tends to expand throughout life as a result of each person's reading and imagery experiences and favors the development of the literary reader's understanding.
