Aspectos do feminino e masculino
Feminine and Masculine Features in Ismael Nery’s Art
Abstract
Carnality and mysticism do not pit against each other in Ismael
Nery’s universe – a Modernist painter and poet of the beginning of
the twentieth century. He transcends his anguish choosing himself
as the object of his work of art. This attitude is tightly coupled to
the metaphor that begins in the Mannerism/Barroque and
permeates through Romanticism and Symbolism. Through the
union of opposites expressed by androgyny, and the abstraction of
time and space emerges a philosophical system called
Essentialism, rescuing the transcendence and primordial unity of
the human being in resonance with the search for individuality in
contemporary age.
Key words: Androgyny, Spirituality, Narcissism, Modernism.
