Visual essays have been gaining more and more space in academic journals and even in commercial magazines. This essay seeks to bring some of the historical context of visual essays in the field of artist publications, with emphasis on Brazilian magazines published from the 1970s onwards. Some selected samples were used to reflect on the visual essay as structure. This analysis can help in establishing a criteria for evaluating visual essays, so that one day they are recognized as intellectual production worth the same as an academic article.
