THE UNNAMABLE FIGURATIVE: CLARICE LISPECTOR'S ART PICTURES

Abstract

During the period of one year - 2007/2008 - we developed the research as a

project of Scientific Initiation PIBIC/CNPq, but for two years - 2006/2008 - we are

developing the project referred in the work plan THE figurative unnamable: Clarice

Lispector's art pictures as a researcher of Scientific Initiation - first during the years

2006/2007 as grant holder of PIBIC/UFMS and later during the years 2007/2008 as a grant

holder of PIBIC/CNPq. During all this period, of 2 years, several aspects of the pictorial and

literary work, the object of study of this research, of the writer Clarice Lispector, were studied

and lifted up. Her friendships with other painting artists, with writers and etc., the importance

of the names of her pictures front to the period of production of the same ones, decade of

1970 with reflexes of the Brazilian Military Dictatorship, the fluidity and liquidity of her

work Água viva and of her pictures, some relationships of Clarice’s pictures and

contemporary artists' works to the century XXI, among so many other studies. It is worth to

point out here, that several of these scientific works developed during the period of study of

this plan, are today published in books, magazines, printed and electronics, in Annals of

Congress, national and international, among others. For the production of all the material that

is published today, the theoretical support was found in the area of the Cultural Studies and

the Compared Literature, as it had been proposed by the work plan, besides studies on

biographies, autobiographies and a vast theoretical material on the writer's work. We could

verify during all our research that the writer's pictorial production complements all her literary

production and all the pictorial production is still without any more consistent study like the

same theoretical back-up that her literary production already has.
