Tàpies e seus Corpos: um Olhar Sexuado Anníbal Montaldi - Unesp

Tàpies and his Bodies, a Sexist look
Abstract
This work tries to find the relations between Antoni Tàpies’ work
and the concepts of sexuality originating from the psychoanalysis,
starting from the reduction of the phenomena and his work.
To build this study, the research starts in the artist, his life and
the relations he had with the outside world – personal,
intellectual and productive to the work of art itself.
This dissertation looks through an exhausting and continuous way
on his works and the iconoclastic work that exists on them; it
studies his process and procedure, the way he gestures in the
production and the materials used by him.
In this imaginary world of Tàpies, we can observe that the link
between the external and material and the internal and pulsating
worlds happens by the image of the human body that is presented
in his work.
By Tàpies to be an artist that is always transforming himself in
the language worked out by him, it is eminent to study the
represented diversification that makes of this body and how
these distinguished presented forms establish relations between
themselves and the psychological analysis theory.
Finally, we can perceive that to look at the work of Tàpies all
over his trajectory is to make a reading about the man and the
world, whatever the object of study is, it is inside this point of
view.
Key words: Antoni Tàpies, body, sexuality, “gesturing”,
psychoanalysis.
