SOBRE A ARTE ENTRE OS S�CULOS 19 E 20: UMA ABORDAGEM A PARTIR DAS REPRESENTA��ES DO ATELI� VAZIO / On art between the 19th and 20th centuries: an approach from representations of the empty studio

O estudo da histria da arte no Brasil costumava tratar o sculo 19 e o 20 como dois perodos bastante distintos, quase conflitantes, sobre os quais no era possvel conceber que houvesse dilogo. Nos ltimos anos, com as revises historiogrficas sobre a abordagem modernista, os pesquisadores valorizaram a produo oitocentista e por consequncia abriram o campo para novas possibilidades de estudo sobre a arte nas primeiras dcadas dos anos 1900. O presente artigo intenciona contribuir com essas pesquisas, propondo uma leitura para alm das transformaes estticas ocorridas nesse perodo, tendo como ponto de partida as representaes do ateli vazio. Assim, considerando o ateli vazio um tema por excelncia na arte do sculo 19, investigamos sua persistncia no sculo 20 apesar das mudanas de paradigma na pintura. Para tanto, reunimos algumas obras realizadas entre os anos 1880 e 1950 aproximadamente, nas quais observamos aspectos sobre a posio do artista como profissional, a concepo da arte e da realidade que os cerca.Palavras-chaveAteli vazio.

Artista.AbstractThe study of Art History in Brazil used to treat the 19th century and the 20th century as two very distinct, almost conflicting periods, about which it was not possible to conceive that there were dialogues. In recent years, with the historiographic revisions on the modernist approach, researchers have valued the nineteenth-century production and consequently opened the field to new possibilities of studying art in the early 1900s. The present article intends to contribute to this research, proposing a reading beyond the aesthetic transformations that occurred in this period, taking as a starting point the representations of the empty studio. Thus, considering the empty studio a theme par excellence in 19th century art, we investigate its persistence in the 20th century despite the paradigm shifts in painting. To this end, we gathered some works from approximately 1880 to 1950, in which we observed aspects about the position of the artist as a professional, the conception of art and the reality that surrounds them.Keywords:Empty studio. 19th and 20th centuries.
