Resumo
A pintura de gênero Fascinação foi realizada pelo pintor Pedro Peres no ano de 1904. Na obra, uma menina negra e uma boneca branca são retratadas sem qualquer tipo de interação física, num contraponto em que suas feições e gestos são os vetores que sugerem o diálogo intrínseco em cena. Por meio da análise do quadro, em paralelo a outras que circundam o período, buscou-se o estudo artístico das representações da infância e as relações sociais e raciais construídas entre as personagens retratadas. A investigação da importância dos artistas e suas obras em fins do século XIX e início do século XX no que se refere à postura como formadores e/ou percursores de ideias, opiniões e posicionamentos permitiu compreender qual o papel da arte no retrato desta questão social nos primeiros anos da república, considerando, sobretudo, as possíveis referências de artistas estrangeiros e os modelos visuais acerca da pintura de gênero, da representação dos negros e, especialmente, da infância. Visou-se, portanto, estabelecer uma relação entre a arte propagada no período e a sociedade brasileira pós-abolicionista, buscando a partir dos elementos artísticos e estéticos e suas respectivas análises, as compreensões históricas e sociais. Ademais, as pesquisas levaram a observação de como se dá a denúncia do racismo na infância na contemporaneidade através das diferentes manifestações artísticas, que ressaltam os resquícios de um passado que ainda não se apagou por completo.
The Fascination genre painting was made by the painter Pedro Peres in 1904. In the work, a black girl and a white doll are portrayed without any kind of physical interaction, in a counterpoint in which their features and gestures are the sets of intrinsic dialogue in scene. Through the analysis of the picture, in parallel with others that surround the period, an artistic study of the representations of childhood and the social and racial relations built between the portrayed characters was sought. The investigation of the importance of artists and their works at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century with regard to their position as trainers and/or precursors of ideas, opinions and adequate positions understandable what is the role of art in the portrayal of this social issue in first years of the republic, considering, above all, the possible references of foreign artists and the visual models about genre painting, the representation of blacks and, especially, childhood. The aim was, therefore, to establish a relationship between the art propagated in the period and the post-abolitionist Brazilian society, seeking from the artistic and aesthetic elements and their analyses, as historical and social understandings. Furthermore, the research led to the observation of how racism in childhood is denounced in contemporary times through different artistic manifestations, which highlight the remnants of a past that has not yet been completely erased.
