Mini-course “XNUMXth century Brazilian Art in Perspective: Victor Meirelles, Pedro Américo and the question of the formation of national identity”
Minister: Milena Fransolino
Held: December 03, 10 and 17, 18 pm to 21:30 pm.
Theoretical mini-course on art history and criticism, focusing on XNUMXth century artists Victor Meirelles and Pedro Américo. Using the work of these two artists, this mini-course aims to provide participants with an understanding of the way in which an attempt was made to forge an academic art in Brazil based on the construction of the image and national identity.
Minicourse “Contemporary Brazilian Art in Perspective: Leonilson, Fayga Ostrower and Glauco Rodrigues”
Minister: Bianca Tomaselli
Held: December 7, 8 and 9, 18 pm to 21:30 pm.
Based on the Meirelles Museum's desire to explore the work of artists Leonilson, Glauco Rodriguez and Fayga Ostrower (whose works are part of the Museum's collection and history), the course aims to carry out a critical reading of the artistic and critical production that crosses the work of these artists, between the 50s and the 90s and reflect the relevance of these debates in the contemporary. It is, in Foucault's way, examining parrhesia, that is, the movement of deconstruction, dissimulation and the affection that is interposed in the developments of the abstractionist avant-gardes and the New Figuration in Brazil. The articulation of such disparate works implies exploring the dimension of cynicism (in its sense of satire as well as its more archaic sense of truth) and its validity as an aesthetic and political strategy in the face of the constraints of developmentalism, militarism, the market (read: if liberalism).
