Visual Essay: With how many windows? Tribute to Ana Mae Barbosa

Abstract

We tried to pay a tribute to Ana Mae Barbosa using the poetics of her own image in action, but this is not an easy effort, especially, considering she has dedicated her life to show us the importance of the Art in the Education. Then we only tried to open some windows, because we saw the difficulty that would be the creation of a significant essay with the time and the space included. These windows shared with artists, researchers and art educators acquired artistic horizons with sinuous lines. Sometimes one hibridization happens where we can hear to the sound of the lines, taking to the sound from the vision and then also we can achieve the aroma! Perhaps, the surrealist artists have also open windows! Yes, it is true that with Magritte we can smell the ocean and with Max Ernst touch the texture of the earth. But, only with João Jardim is that we start to search the "window to the soul". Thus, in this way is that some people would like to guide their look in the essay in which we honour Barbosa. Some paths of the eyesight will be constructed looking from the inside out, others from outside to inside. In this comes and goes of construction of the paths is where the senses will multiply the windows. Ana Mae Barbosa has created new windows and, also has taken us to build new glances. We tried to find the tone with the GEARTE and perceive the correct time of the greatness of a life that knows how to give value to the dream in the rhythm of the reality of our country.
