A poética visual de Matsutani e as transferências no entre-espaço

Abstract

The dissertation analyzes how the multiple displacements experienced by the contemporary Japanese artist Takesada Matsutani are inscribed in the conception process and in the materiality of his abstract visual works. In order to do so, it outlines the artist’s social and artistic trajectory, his movement through national and international artistic environments, as well as the material, technical, and thematic decisions adopted over time. Accordingly, it seeks to strengthen the field of Japanese Studies in Brazil and to contribute plural narratives to Brazilian Art History and Criticism, while also fostering the discussion on immigrant artists in Paris after the Second World War.
