Resumo(s)
This thesis is concerned on live portrait drawing. It looks forward the reasoning that lies between the analysis of the face and the making of the drawing. This judgement, which belongs to the live observation drawing, is built over ancient and complex knowledge. The drawing reasoning, defended here, is the basis for the accomplishment of the portrait. To support this point, in one hand, the old treatises are thoroughly reviewed in what concerns to portraiture, and, in the other hand, the theories about physiognomy are studied in detail. They are a testimony of the man’s long quest to know his inner side from his outer traits. From this theoretical merging the processes involved in how the drawing traits are coincident with the face’s own, becomes clear.
Furthermore, following some philosophic theories, it is found out that it is during the portraying action that the drawing reveals better what expresses the face, as the human expression, each second threatened to change, envelops the act of drawing in a quick fugacity. This drives the portrait to focus on essentials and to search, in the changing appearance, its identity and meaning. Although the scope of this thesis restricts itself to live portrait, it can be also a starting point to further studies on drawing of the human head. But out of this delimitation, the drawing is here rehabilitated, once it is found out that, today as always, drawing the face is an essential act of knowledge. It doesn’t end in the features of the portrayed one. In fact, for the artist, as a personal experience, the live portraying is a celebration of the human kind, as full of Life as it is of Death.
