Os anos 60: Antonio Dias, uma poética entre o bem e o mal. A história de uma passagem na arte brasileira
type: CreativeWork
description: The artistic movement which ocurred with the Pop-art, also called by the critique and historiografhy as New Figuration and New Realism, bequeathed to visual arts environment the consolidation of transformation provoked by the procedures performed by the european vanguard of the beginning of the century. In Brazil, this movement was called “New Brazilian Objectivity". This characterization counts on the thought, the experience and the observation of the artist Helio Oiticica, who considered Antonio Dias’ work a "Note over the unpredictable death", the turning point of the artistic process which happened during the sixties. Thus, the study of Antonio Dias’ work, developed throughout the essay, intends to contribute for the debate about the artistic procedures performed those years, specially in Brazil, with a focus on this artist’s work. A synthetical study about the historical-artistic antecedents of the above artistic movement was done through the observation of the transformation and changes, which ocurred at the modern plastic process. A prospect of the main internacional tendencies of New Figuration and Brazilian scene was planed in a way to enrich the study about Antonio Dias’ work. This work constitutes in an iconographical and plastic-structural analysis of this artist’s production searching to verify what made it possible the turning point qualification theorized by Oiticica.
