Fragmentos iconográficos de uma poética do abandono

Abstract

The research shows an iconographic survey around some situations, which abandonment can be identified in art representations, firstly through paintings that represent homeless people images, beggars and wanderers, expanding itself later to other imagistic references and artistic languages. My own affective and poetry memory was highly significant for this research; both related to the childhood and beings. Abandonment poetry deals with body gestures, in its presences, absences and fragmentations, allowing us to think about the way the abandonment situations are presented into artistic production during all history, even among our contemporaneity, the context in which we must be aware about its invisibility processes and, above all, in the leftovers, the remains and traces that surround these characters existence.
