Literature, Culture, and Aesthetics

First, we introduce the painter Ismael Nery, the phases of his pictorial work,ideas and philosophical conceptions. Soon after, we delve deeper into a poem in prose anda surrealist drawing (Ismael Nery’s Testament). We focus on the various connectionsbetween the two works, highlighting the corresponding perfect unity between both. In thisdialogue between poetry and painting, passages extracted from literary and art critiques bythe poet Murilo Mendes and extracts from an interview given by Murilo Mendes to Vejamagazine in the seventies emphasize the meaning we want to convey. Finally, the use ofthe surrealist visual language by Nery to deal with his spiritual and apostolic concernsenhances this bridge between painting and literature.
