| Disgrifiad: | This paper consists of a comparative analysis of depictions of indigenous people made in expeditions carried out in the Northeast and Amazonia of Brazil, by painter Albert Eckhout (1610-1665) and contemporary artist Claudia Andujar (1931-nowadays). The goal of this paper is to problematize the construction of these images considering the context of their production, the arrangement of bodies, the way of approaching the other, the characteristics and features of the representations and the (dis)similarities between Andujar and Eckhout. The transdisciplinary method that is used is founded on analysis of images in their historical context. We maintain that, although the artistic work of these artists stem from different ideological and cultural backgrounds, both portray subjects that were exotic to them. It was observed that Eckhout and Andujar worked with the idea of a promise, in the first case, of civilization, and in the second, of salvation. In the framework in modernity, the production of a visuality of otherness was a central aspect in both cases. |
