Drawing

My commentary, 2018

 

Drawing has been a way of thinking.

 

Carlos Fajardo says that "drawing is the space between", Desenho como Instrumento, Cooperativa dos Artistas Plásticos de São Paulo, 1979. Of course.

A portrait, even a caricature, is precisely what is between the several turns of the line. A line that somewhat determines the quality of its expression. Ironic, funny,denouncing ...

But What about the circle?  Is it that the circle is  itself its surrounding line or the disk that is, actually, the "space between"? Here no deformation is allowed except for the quality of the line: hue, value, sensitivity ... The disk, though, will always be the same

 

Phrase attributed to Picasso draw my attention: "Before a painting was a sum of additions. With me a painting is a sum of destruction. "

 

Such things would destroy the circle. They would overshadow the disk to construct an expressive far-reaching mode than the specific object of that drawing. Meaning that it goes beyond the "space between".

The space around, them?

Or better, the "space between" those who see and that wich is seeing.

Mycommentary

 

I was interested in Jaques Lacan for a while and I studied a little at the Escola Freud Lacaniana (Freud Lacaniana School) in São Paulo, published an article in the Cadernos Freud Lacanianos (Freud Lacanian Notebooks) and had some activity in the area, including the organization of an international Freud and Piaget study seminar.
I was struck at the time by the concept of Object a, which can be explained, in a very simplified way, is what we seek knowing that it cannot be achieved. An impulse motivated by a
absence, so to speak
In Marguerit Yourcenar's L'OEvre ou Noir, Zenon and Henry-Maximilien, two young pilgrims of different strains comment on their journeys, and Zenon declares that someone awaits him later, and says ... "Zenon, myself." (simplified translation).
That's where I got the idea and proposition for the Objeto ME
