The "Collection of Drawing Notebooks" makes public "what is hidden, kept in the intimacy of the pocketbook, of the workshop; they represent the first look the artist has of the surrounding world." The present "Artist Diary" of noted artist Renina Katz (b. Rio de Janeiro 1925) reveals unknown aspects of her artistic production, generally only accessible to herself. Renina Katz was a disciple of two master engravers Carlos Oswald and Axel Leskoschek. Her socialist realism of the 1950's was a visual document of her observations "d' après nature", as she defined it. After the decade of 1960's Katz abandons her political militancy and paves the way for a singular abstract work which remains to this day.
