Resumo
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo o estudo de retratos de artistas no ateliê, de pintores e escultores atuantes ao longo do século XIX e início do século XX no Brasil, realizados por seus contemporâneos. Nestes retratos, os artistas são representados por seus pares em ateliês, elegantemente posando ou individualmente em meio ao ofício e também coletivamente, ao lado de outros artistas ou amigos. Buscamos entender de que maneira a modalidade do retrato de artista no ateliê denota a importância e afirmação de sua figura como pintor ou escultor, além da legitimação de sua posição social enquanto artista, por meio do reconhecimento de seu ofício. Levamos em consideração os modelos visuais e gêneros internacionais e os estudos atuais sobre a temática do ateliê e também a questão do autorretrato, sobretudo, como ponto de análise e comparação entre as obras, identificando ainda as diferenças e semelhanças na imagem feita por si próprio e por outro artista. Abordamos também a questão da literatura e a presença dos artistas e de seus ateliês nos romances do século XIX, a fim de investigarmos como estes assuntos foram narrados nas páginas lidas pela sociedade da época. Recuperamos a discussão bibliográfica sobre a representação do artista e do ateliê, assim como a crítica de arte do período em jornais ou revistas da época. Verificamos se os retratos estudados foram expostos nas Exposições Gerais de Belas Artes ou em mostras individuais e investigamos as possíveis relações entre estes retratos e a fotografia, visto que muitos artistas eram partidários da técnica de captura de imagens na produção de suas obras e alguns destes foram registrados em seus ateliês por meio da técnica. Além disso, também nos dedicamos a analisar as condições socioculturais dos ateliês retratados, a fim de compreender e ampliar as questões artísticas existentes no período, as relações sociais mantidas entre os artistas (retratado e retratista) e a instituição acadêmica, assim como seus locais de trabalho no Rio de Janeiro e no exterior.
This research has as objective the study of portraits of artists in the studio, of painters and sculptors working throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries in Brazil, performed by their contemporaries. In these portraits, artists are represented by their peers in ateliers, elegantly posing or individually in the midst of the craft and also collectively, alongside other artists or friends. We seek to understand how the modality of the artist's portrait in the studio denotes the importance and affirmation of his figure as a painter or sculptor, as well as the legitimation of his social position as an artist, through the recognition of his craft. We take into account the visual models and international genres and the current studies on the subject of the studio and also the question of the self-portrait, above all, as a point of analysis and comparison between the works, also identifying the differences and similarities in the image made by itself and by another artist. We also address the issue of literature and the presence of artists and their workshops in the novels of the nineteenth century, in order to investigate how these subjects were narrated in the pages read by society at the time. We recover the bibliographical discussion about the representation of the artist and the studio, as well as the art criticism of the period in newspapers or magazines of the time. We verified whether the portraits studied were exhibited at the General Fine Arts Exhibitions or in individual exhibitions and investigated the possible relationships between these portraits and photography, since many artists were in favor of the technique of capturing images in the production of their works and some of these were registered in their workshops through the technique. In addition, we also analyze the sociocultural conditions of the studios portrayed in order to understand and expand the artistic issues that existed in the period, the social relations maintained between the artists (portrayed and portrayed) and the academic institution, as well as their places of work in Rio de Janeiro and abroad.
