O presente estudo debruçou-se sobre a praxis e a teoria no design gráfico de Robin
Fior, na perspectiva de entendermos os aspectos que as caracterizavam. Alicerçada
na sua biografia, a tese foi dividida em duas partes, uma primeira dedicada
ao percurso de Fior em Inglaterra – onde iniciou a sua actividade profissional e
viveu até 1973 –, e uma segunda, alusiva ao rumo seguido em Portugal – onde
viveu e trabalhou até ao final da sua vida. Com esta divisão intentámos perceber
de que modo as vivências profissionais em ambos os contextos determinaram a
sustentação teórica e as características materiais da sua obra gráfica.
Analisámos depois, em cada um dos países, as principais obras criadas por Robin,
com vista a podermos então caracterizar a sua praxis, e procurámos sempre
basear essa análise, nas suas ideias sobre design, tendo tomado como base as
suas próprias palavras e muitos dos inúmeros artigos que escreveu.
Depois de percebidos os aspectos que caracterizavam a praxis e as ideias de Robin,
tentámos compreender ainda o papel que desempenhou como autor gráfico
nos dois contextos onde viveu. Constatámos que este designer deixou em ambos
um legado, que é visível nos elogios que lhe prestam a maior parte dos que com
ele conviveram, tanto como pensador como, e sobretudo, no que diz respeito sua
actividade como designer gráfico e que estão patentes nos muitos tributos que
lhe foram prestados após a morte. Todos eles vão de encontro ao que se analisou
e procurou defender nesta tese.
The present study is concerned with the theory and praxis of Robin Fior’s graphic design and aims at understanding its main distinctive features. Based on his biography, the dissertation has been divided in two parts: the first devoted to Fior’s career in England - where he started his professional activity and lived until 1973 - and the second, in Portugal where he worked and lived for the rest of his life. This division was intended to gain a better understanding of how professional experiences in both countries have shaped the theoretical foundations and material features of his graphic work. We have thus analysed the major works created by Robin in every country in order to be able to characterise his praxis, always seeking to found this analysis on his ideas about design based on verbatim quotations selected within the numerous articles he wrote. Once Robin’s praxis and ideas were understood, we tried to shed light on his role as a graphic author in the two contexts where he lived. We have realised that this designer has left an important legacy in those countries, both as a thinker and mainly as a graphic designer, which is evidenced in the words of praise from those who have known him personally and in the numerous tributes paid to him after his death. What’s more, they are all in line with the analyses and assumptions in the present dissertation.
