A metáfora visual como expressão estética no Surrealismo

Abstract

This research presents an analysis of the use of visual metaphors in surrealist works when approaching images and elements related to the unconscious, as well as aspects that refer to human feelings. Its objectives were to investigate the use of the fantastic imagery of Surrealism as a way of re-signifying reality and to identify, in this context, the possible visual metaphors present in the works to address conceptual issues of this artistic movement. For this, the methodology adopted was a qualitative approach with a bibliographic procedure, for selection and analysis of information related to the topic. As a link between theory and artistic practice, a series of metal engravings was developed to illustrate some of the aspects of fantasy and visual metaphors present in surrealist works. This work aims to contribute to new reflections and interpretations about this important artistic movement.
