As recriações da natureza na história da pintura sergipana : (1882-1994)

Abstract

The present work is found in the field of Art History and aims to analyze how nature influenced the recreations of Sergipe painters. The artists chosen for this analysis were: Horacio Hora (1853-1890), Jordão de Oliveira (1900- 1980), Jenner Augusto (1924-2003) and José Inácio Alves de Oliveira (1911-2007). This choice is justified due to their relevance in the regional artistic scene; the scope of an extensive time frame, ranging from the mid-19th century to the beginning of the 21st century and the representative possibility of several artistic schools. The theoretical references of the work are: Francastel (2011), Gualis (1996) and Suassuna (2013). The relevance of the work is given by the fact that this study generates reflections about the importance of environmental preservation, a topic widely discussed today. In addition, few academic productions deal with the History of Sergipe Art, as well as studies that analyze the representations of nature in painting; in this sense, this research presents a pioneering character. It is concluded that the nature recreated in the paintings of these artists is composed from the subjective experiences of each of them with different natural environments.
