Resumo: | The present essay intends to showcase a comparative relation between the work of two artists at the vanguard of abstract production: Piet Mondrian in painting and Alexander Calder in sculpture. In several studies on the development of Calder’s work, Mondrian’s role is restricted to the reception of the former in his studio, in 1930: when Calder came across the colorful rectangles and the absence of ornamentation, he suggested movement to all of that, which culminated in a series of abstract experiments that would quickly become his known Mobiles. The discrepancy between both of their artistic theories – on one hand Mondrian’s inflexibility in following the neoplastic propositions, and on the other Calder’s light fluency – are not enough to cancel the stylistic similarities of their artwork. Therefore, this research em-phasizes how their kinship goes beyond Calder’s awakening to non-figurative art, while it relies on Umberto Eco’s open work concept to showcase how their unusual genius, both Apollonian and Dionysian, potentiates their artwork. |

En varios estudios acerca del trabajo de Calder, el papel de Mondrian se limita a la recepción del primero en su estudio, en 1930: cuando Calder encontró los coloridos rectángulos y la ausencia de ornamentación, sugirió la introducción del mo-vimiento, lo que culminó en una serie de experimentos abstractos que rapidamente se convertirían en sus conocidos Móviles. La discrepancia entre sus dos teorías artísticas, por un lado la rigidez de Mondrian al seguir las proposiciones neoplásicas, y por otro, la soltura presente en Calder, no es suficiente para anular sus similitudes estilísticas. Por lo tanto, esta investigación enfatiza cómo sus producciones se acercan más allá del despertar de Calder a la abstracción, confiando en el concepto de obra abierta de Umberto Eco para mostrar cómo su genio inusual, tanto apolíneo como dionisíaco, potencia su obra de arte.Este artigo evidencia uma relação comparativa entre a obra de dois artistas na vanguarda da produção abstrata: Piet Mondrian na pintura e Alexander Calder na escultura. Nos diversos estudos sobre o desenvolvimento do trabalho de Calder, o papel de Mondrian encontra-se restrito à recepção do artista em seu ateliê em 1930: ao se deparar com os retângulos coloridos Calder sugeriu movimento a tudo aquilo, culminando numa série de experimentações abstratas que rapidamente se transformariam em seus conhecidos Móbiles. A divergência teórica entre eles – de um lado a rigidez de Mondrian em seguir as proposições neoplásticas, e de outro a soltura presente em Calder – não são suficientes para anular suas similaridades estilísticas. Assim, enfatizam-se os modos como suas produções se aproximam para além do despertar de Calder à abstração, apoiando-se no conceito de obra aberta de Umberto Eco para evidenciar o modo como seu incomum gênio, ao mesmo tempo apolíneo e dionisíaco, potencializa sua obra.Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina2019-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/palindromo/article/view/1370910.5965/2175234611252019131Palíndromo; Vol. 11 No. 25 (2019): Pesquisa em Arte e Arte Educação; 131-145Palíndromo; v. 11 n. 25 (2019): Pesquisa em Arte e Arte Educação; 131-1452175-23461984-9532reponame:Palíndromo (Online)instname:Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)instacron:UDESCporhttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/palindromo/article/view/13709/10445Copyright (c) 2019 Palíndromohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVisnadi, Débora2023-03-31T13:19:28Zoai::article/13709Revistahttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/palindromoPUBhttps://www.revistas.udesc.br/index.php/palindromo/oaipalindromorevista@gmail.com || revistapalindromo@udesc.br2175-23461984-9532opendoar:2023-03-31T13:19:28Palíndromo (Online) - Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)false |
