TENSÕES INVENTIVAS NA OBRA MANUAL DE PINTURA E CALIGRAFIA, DE JOSÉ SARAMAGO.

Abstract

The literature based on the book Manual of painting and calligraphy by José Saramago (1977), aims to analyze existing homological procedures between this work and various painting trends, comparing the selected narrative with the convent Memorial works (2002), Blindness (2003) and The flashes of death (2009), by the same author, pointing out the manual singularities, great allegory of the others books and the composition of the artistic plans. The aim is also to point out the features in the novel, their main elements as characters, time and space. The process of creating the frame inside the work allows viewing the resources used by the author and how the work can be observed. The fact that the narrative is a work of literary art allows more detailed observation about the function and use of literary discourse and still speaking of this painting in the tables created by the painter in the narrative. Still pointing the artistic factor present in the work, the facts in José Saramago s work for the periods experienced by the art itself, its painters, the open studio driving process, the meta-language that is part of the work and even the use of simulation for the construction of the narrative can be observed. They are marked the several levels of existing simulation throughout the book and even a possible approach to the same work In search of lost time (1988), by Marcel Proust, through the book Moving museum (2004). It is concluded that the studies on the relationship between branches arts are very recent, so the approach that brings literature and painting allows contemplating a new path for these two artworks.
