Flores na Máquina: Arte, Insensatez e Percepção

Abstract

Throughout the history of art, works have highlighted social issues present in their contexts, where the artists responsible for their creations denounced characteristics, said by Hyronimus Brant, as senseless. This Final Coursework in Visual Arts Bachelor's Degree seeks, in dialogue with Brant's book Ships of Fools, to understand the poetics of five works from different periods of art history in the relationships that may involve the theme of Brant as a manifestation of interests inherent to society that guide a view of its citizens as senseless. For the theoretical organization, convergences are made between text and image that emerge from the production of contemporary artists with poetics that are associated with the theme of this Final Coursework, whose references contribute to the understanding and production of elements that foster the creation of the illustrated book Flowers in the Machine, a practical poetic work involving drawing, text and digital techniques.
