ABSTRACT
This article demonstrate how indigenous culture has long been absent from Brazilian visual thinking and evaluates the possibilities of thinking about its history from indigenous artists point of view. It presents a theoretical and documentary review of the ways in which art history and visual thinking developed in Brazil deal with the artistic aesthetic production of the indigenous peoples. It proposes the possibility of revising the history of art, incorporating the thought of indigenous artists, given the need for an epistemological turn in the History of Art to account for the differences that exist in Brazil and Latin America.
