Resumo: | This paper examines some aspects of photography and the photographic arts as conveyors of meaning in the novel The portrait painter by Luiz Antonio de Assis Brasil, and considers how the commentary on the evolution of photographic techniques and of the character’s views on photography mirrors, in a metafictional way, the transition of the novel both as genre and within the author’s literary body of work. Bibliographical research was used as methodology, pertaining to studies of the photograph as object and means of expression, especially Roland Barthes (1984), Natalia Brizuela (2014), Susan Sontag (2004) and François Brunet (2009), as well as specific studies of that novel, mainly Carlos Reis (2001), Aurora Gedra Ruiz Alvarez (2011) and Nubia Jacques Hanciau (2006), and interviews with the author. It is concluded that photography’s artistic status intertwines with the protagonist Sandro Lanari’s journey in search of affirmation as an artist and an author; that the text promotes more than one superimposition between the themes of the passage of time, mortality, and the art of the portrait; and that it expresses the course of a profound transition (chronological, artistic, personal), mirroring the eventual intersection between literature and photography as a crossing of frontiers similar to that which is literally and figuratively present in The portrait painter. |

El presente artículo investiga aspectos de la fotografía y del arte fotográfico como articuladoras de sentidos en la novela El pintor de retratos, de Luiz Antonio de Assis Brasil y considera cómo el comentario sobre la evolución de las técnicas fotográficas y la postura del personaje ante la fotografía refleja también, de forma metaficticia, la transición de la novela, sea como género, sea dentro la obra literaria de su autor. Como metodología, se utilizó la investigación bibliográfica de estudios de fotografía como objeto y medio de expresión, especialmente Roland Barthes (1984), Natalia Brizuela (2014), Susan Sontag (2004) y François Brunet (2009), y también estudios críticos de esa novela, principalmente Carlos Reis (2001), Aurora Gedra Ruiz Alvarez (2011) y Nubia Jacques Hanciau (2006), además de entrevistas del autor. Se concluye que el estatuto artístico de la fotografía se entrelaza con la trayectoria del protagonista Sandro Lanari en busca de afirmación artística y autoral; que el texto promueve más de una sobreposición de los temas del paso del tiempo, de la inmortalidad y del arte del retrato; y expresa el recorrido de una profunda transición (cronológica, artística, personal), reflejando la eventual intersección entre literatura y fotografía, en un traspaso de fronteras similar a aquel literal y figurativamente presente en el pintor de retratos.O presente artigo investiga alguns aspectos da fotografia e da arte fotográfica enquanto articuladoras de sentidos no romance O pintor de retratos, de Luiz Antonio de Assis Brasil, e cogita de como o comentário sobre a evolução das técnicas fotográficas e da postura do personagem frente à fotografia espelha também, de forma metaficcional, a transição do romance, seja enquanto gênero, seja dentro da obra literária de seu autor. Como metodologia, utilizou-se a pesquisa bibliográfica relativa a estudos da fotografia enquanto objeto e meio de expressão, especialmente Roland Barthes (1984), Natalia Brizuela (2014), Susan Sontag (2004) e François Brunet (2009), e também estudos específicos sobre esse romance, principalmente Carlos Reis (2001), Aurora Gedra Ruiz Alvarez (2011) e Nubia Jacques Hanciau (2006), além de entrevistas do autor. Conclui-se que o estatuto artístico da fotografia se entrelaça com a jornada do protagonista Sandro Lanari em busca de afirmação artística e autoral e que o texto promove mais de uma sobreposição dos temas da passagem do tempo, da mortalidade e da arte do retrato; e o texto expressa o percurso de uma profunda transição (cronológica, artística, pessoal), espelhando a eventual intersecção entre literatura e fotografia em um atravessar de fronteiras similar àquele literal e figurativamente presente em O pintor de retratos.
