This thesis attempts to describe the contingent events that led to the downfall of Lord High Chancellor Thomas Wolsey in England. Using the British History Online website and Hall's Chronicles, I read all the letters and papers under Henry VIII between the years of 1527 and 1529. While the popular belief is that it was from Wolsey's incapability to get the annulment Henry VIII wanted from his first wife, there are other arguments that attempt to steer away from that popular viewpoint. While I do follow the popular belief, in my research I found that the common belief of the inability to get the annulment is true, but not as black and white as it has been made out to be. There were many events and circumstances that hindered Wolsey and other delegates that were involved ranging from physiologically to politically. In addition, the downfall of Wolsey was not as gradual as has been assumed.

This dissertation has the objective of recognizing the singularity of the artistic gestures of the Brazilian artist Tatiana Blass (São Paulo, 1979). In the first chapter, it considers the decadence and downfall through wax resource as sculptural material, marking some persistence in the animal representation before the human being. In the second chapter, it approaches the presence and the absence of the word, highlighting the production of speeches and silences in her videos and works with biplane support. In the third chapter, it reflects about the metamorphosis and phantasmagoria of the shapes and matters that turn into her aintings and sculptures. The persistent and insistent gesture in the universe of this artist consists of the deconstruction of the shape and the objects to an afterthought building of the work of art. / Cada artista possui um gesto que permanece consigo em sua produção, como uma maneira de fazer, como algo que se repete como uma combinação única de obstinação e premeditação recorrentes em suas obras. Esta dissertação tem por objetivo reconhecer a singularidade dos gestos artísticos da artista brasileira Tatiana Blass (São Paulo, 1979). No primeiro capítulo, considera a decadência e ruína por meio do recurso da cera como material escultórico, assinalando uma persistência na representação do animal frente ao ser humano. No segundo capítulo, aborda a presença e a ausência da palavra, destacando a produção de discursos e silêncios em seus vídeos e obras com suportes biplanares. No terceiro capítulo, reflete sobre a metamorfose e fantasmagoria das formas e matérias que se transformam em suas pinturas e esculturas. O gesto que persiste e insiste no universo desta artista consiste na desconstrução da forma e dos objetos para uma posterior construção da obra de arte.
