Resumo

A escolha dos materiais de reintegração cromática para pinturas contemporâneas a óleo e emulsão acrílica não envernizadas, constituem um problema antes do tratamento de conservação e restauro. Este tipo de pinturas contém abrasões, impressões digitais e manchas de sujidade, que aparecem em particular nas laterais, maioritariamente causadas pelo manuseamento. Por serem pinturas não envernizadas o processo de reintegração cromática torna-se complexo, uma vez que não existe qualquer camada de proteção na pintura. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os materiais que tiveram um desempenho superior durante as reintegrações cromáticas das pinturas do pintor português Jorge Martins. Construíram-se com o artista, maquetas representativas da sua técnica pictórica recorrendo aos seus materiais. As mesmas maquetas foram artificialmente envelhecidas. Para uma avaliação do mais indicado, diferentes tipos de materiais aquosos e não aquosos, foram testados. Verificou-se que os melhores resultados, foram obtidos com os pigmentos da marca Ferrario® disperso em Tri-Funori® e com os guaches da marca Winsor & Newton®, ambos aquosos e não tóxicos.
