Considerations about the representation of black people in the work Almeida Junior
The “paulist” painter Jose Ferraz de Almeida Junior (1850-1899) became known, above all, by paintings that bring the peasant as protagonist, a not much explored character by the Brazillian pictorical production.

description | The “paulist” painter Jose Ferraz de Almeida Junior (1850-1899) became known, above all, by paintings that bring the peasant as protagonist, a not much explored character by the Brazillian pictorical production. However, on the contrary of some of his contemporary, like Modesto Brocos, it is almost inexistent the presence of black characters on his paintings. And it is just this near absence that we will approach then. We will investigate two of the few Almeida Junior’s works, in which appears, or nearly disappears, the black person, in order to understand the discursive fragments produced about him. They are: A Negra, in which the proximity given to the human figure in relation to the spectator seems to stress the total light absence of this little dimensioned paint; as like Partida da Monção, historical ordered painting, in which the black character appears in detach. |

O pintor paulista José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior (1850- 1899) ficou conhecido, sobretudo, por pinturas que trazem como protagonista o caipira, personagem até então pouco explorada pela produção pictórica brasileira. Contudo, ao contrário de alguns de seus contemporâneos, como Modesto Brocos, é quase inexistente a presença de personagens negras em suas telas. E é justamente essa quase ausência que abordaremos no texto a seguir. Investigaremos duas das poucas obras de Almeida Júnior nas quais o negro aparece, ou quase desaparece, de modo a compreender os fragmentos discursivos produzidos pelo artista a seu respeito. São elas: A negra, na qual a proximidade dada à figura humana em relação ao espectador parece tencionar a total ausência de luz desta tela de pequenas dimensões; além de Partida da Monção, pintura histórica feita sob encomenda e cuja personagem negra aparece em posição de destaque. 2011-02-21 2022-03-18T16:17:19Z 2022-03-18T16:17:19Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/3553 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61305 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/3553/3322 Copyright (c) 2011 Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais application/pdf Universidade Estadual Paulista / UNESP Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 37 (2010) 1984-0241 0101-3459 |
