Le flair en images, ou comment est donnée à voir la communication olfactive
2016
How is the action of sniffing others, which has been depreciated by good manners and aesthetic standards, represented in pictures? In unveiling the theme of social sniffing, this essay aims to track variations around the odour of the body and olfactory communication in Western visual arts. This issue implies to examine the social roles of sui generis as well as artefactual human odours, and to assess figurative arts as a means to unveil historical trends in the forms and functions of the sense of smell in our culture. The corpus of figurative works consulted, far from exhaustive, stretches from medieval and classical allegories of smell to the visual language of perfume advertisements, thro…
Caricature as a creative work for its creator and viewer / Karikatūra kaip kūrybinis darbas jo kūrėjui ir suvokėjui
2012
Nowadays we can witness a tendency where the visual replaces the verbal. Humour experiences the same: its visual expression – caricature – is a visual metaphor that already has taken its remarkable place in the field of humour. Caricatures have become a distorting mirror that show deformed but still fairly presented reality. Humour is important part of our everyday life's communication and it covers many spheres of people's life, even including marketing, politics, work relationships, etc. That is why caricatures became a remarkable tool, for example, in political contentions. This article will show what it takes to create this distorting mirror from one side and to see a reflection in it a…
Honoré Daumier Caricature
2011
L’artista francese Honoré Daumier (1808-1879) si distinse per la sua poliedricità, ricchezza e com- plessità tanto nelle tecniche impiegate (litografia, pittura e scultura) quanto nei temi trattati (costumi politici e sociali). La sua produzione litografica fu amplissima: egli realizzò circa 4000 immagini1 pubblicate, all’epoca, presso alcuni giornali e a partire dal 1925 raccolti e pubblicati nell’opera fondamentale di L. Delteil, che qui si è utilizzata. Fu, anche, pittore e scultore: ambì, senza riuscirci, ad essere riconosciuto in vita come un pittore mentre, invece, venne considerato sempre come un litografo. Nella seconda metà dell’Ottocento la litografia non era percepita dall’ambien…
Parody in art from the sixties to our times
2014
The word parody has been coined during classical antiquity and has since been considered mostly as a literary genre or figure. Nevertheless, numerous plastic artists are making use of its forms, processes and connotations. During the 1960s decade, the advent of consumerism and its effects on the work of art duplicability gave a new rise to parody. Reproducibility allowed the transformation of history of arts into a vast repertoire in which one may draw to create from and thus, offered a fertile ground for parodic creation. This study focuses on understanding why and how such a wide range of artists are taking advantage of parody for personal or contextual ends from the 1960s to nowadays. Th…

La vision de la femme dans le Corbacho d'Alfonso Martínez de Toledo
2009
Los autores medievales no transmiten una visión matizada de la mujer. Se la admira sin reservas o se la critica sin moderación. Este tipo de visión binaria ya venía sugerida en el texto bíblico con la figura de Eva opuesta a la de la Virgen. El amor cortés irá hasta divinizar a la mujer. Como reacción a tal divinización vio la luz un movimiento misógino que no hizo más que recuperar los clichés vehiculados por una larga tradición. Tales ideas estaban tan admitidas que no era necesario demostrarlas. La estructura misma de los capítulos de la segunda parte del Corbacho da buena cuenta de ello. Martínez de Toledo hace de la mujer un retrato moral tipo, sintético y sin matices. La caricutura co…

On Caricature In this article I study a widely known and yet wildly used term, caricature. The term is commonly used both in everyday speech and in academic studies of arts and literature, but it tends to be used in an uncritical way. It is usually used as a reiteration and as a way of avoiding a substitutive word for almost any kind of ”flat”, ”typical” or otherwise functional character. Moreover, it is frequently used as an alternative for more established terms, such as satire and grotesque. In the studies of pictorial arts it is also quite common to use the term when referring to almost any kind of pictorial satire. This kind of uncritical thinking is bound to be unscientific in the fir…
