Primeiro, aborda-se a linguagem desse campo, situando o atual estágio de estudos acadêmicos sobre o tema a partir dos textos de Groensteen, McCloud, Eisner e Cyrne. Para a análise, utiliza-se o pensamento de Michael Baxandall, que propõe que se olhe para objetos visuais a partir da intenção dos autores que os fizeram, notando como uma obra responde às contingências sociais, pessoais e materiais a partir de uma referência à materialidade do objeto, em uma análise histórica e estética. Depois, observa-se 31 dias de produção da tira Piratas do Tietê. O trabalho analisa o conceito de “troc” – mercado coletivo de trocas materiais e simbólicas entre um autor e seu público - na obra de Laerte, vendo como ele busca uma nova relação com os leitores. Ainda é observado o abandono da fórmula humorística da piada nos quadrinhos de Laerte; o seu uso particular do conceito de “obra aberta”, de Umberto Eco; a relação de suas tiras com koans; as referências a um repertório cultural erudito e pop; e, por fim, a forma como ele leva as problemáticas da sua obra também para sua vida e seu corpo ao assumir sua transgeneridade, fazendo uma defesa da arte como uma forma de vida.

This paper examines the painter Peh Hilleström (1732–1816) as a participant in the eighteenth century, Stockholm art market, according to the model used by Michael Baxandall in his study of Italian Renaissance art. The art market of the eighteenth century was expanding and included new groups of buyers, outside traditional patrons of art as court and aristocracy. The main purpose of the paper is to find these new art consumers. I use probate inventories from Stockholm, from the years 1735, 1775, 1795, and 1815, in which I search for annotations of paintings. The results are examined from an economic perspective, based on wealth, and a social, based on occupation and titles. Examining these four years I find a rather extensive, bourgeois, market for art, including the less well of households, and fairly independent of social status. The sources give few if any, details of the paintings listed. Hence it is not possible to connect any of the annotations in the probate inventories to Hilleström, since artists’ names are never mentioned. From some of the clues given, there is nevertheless, possible to reconstruct the outlines of what an art collection might have looked like. The wide scope of Hillestöm’s production, illustrated by the artist’s own list of his paintings, might be interpreted as a way to cater for this new market, illustrated by e.g. the frequent repetition of motives. Finally, I examine a few of Hilleström’s own paintings in the light of the previous investigation. Together the sources give a picture of a – fairly widespread – ideal of interior decoration, in which paintings are an important part.

Den här uppsatsen utgör en undersökning av konstnärsrollen som den representeras i ett urval av självporträtt av konstnärerna David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl och Ander Zorn. Utifrån Michael Baxandalls teorier om the Period Eye så belyses ett antal kulturella omständigheter och sociala förhållanden som kan ha påverkat de två konstnärernas självporträtt och hur det kan anses relatera till samtida föreställningar om konstnärsrollen. Ur Erving Goffmans dramaturgiska perspektiv ses självporträtten som en del i ett framträdande där konstnärsrollen iscensätts. Detta innebär ett försök att närma sig ett synsätt som är samtida med konstnärerna och en nyanserad tolkning av konstverken. / : This essay consists of an investigation into the role of the artist as represented in a selection of self-portraits by the artists David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl and Anders Zorn. In accordance with Michael Baxandalls theories regarding the Period Eye, a number of cultural and social circumstances relating to the role of the artist influencing the self-portraits are investigated. From Erving Goffmans dramaturgical perspective the selfportraits are viewed as part of a performance where the role of the artist is acted out. This amounts to an attempt of a nuanced interpretation and a view contemporary to the artists time.

The Belgian artist Pierre Alechinsky (1927– ) is the last living member of Cobra (Copenhagen Brussel Amsterdam), a European avant-garde art movement, which was active between 1948 and 1951. The aim of this study is to examine the style of Alechinsky as it evolved after 1951 while also providing an introduction to the art of Alechinsky to a Swedish audience. To do so, I focus primarily on three of Alechinsky’s artworks: Migration (1951), Central Park (1965) and Passerelle (II) (1986). The theoretical framework is derived from Michael Baxandall’s book Patterns of Intention (1985), which explains historical objects through the cultural context in which they were created. The analyses are based on terms borrowed from Jan-Gunnar Sjölin’s semiotic method from Att tolka bilder (1998), and focus on the artworks’s materiality, comprising the use of materials, plasticity and verbal meanings.   The results show that Alechinsky incorporates stylistic features, such as Japanese calligraphy, derived from his trips abroad and his interactions with fellow artists. A shift from abstraction to figuration occurred between the earlier Migration and later Central Park. Alechinsky’s style in Central Park and Passerelle (II) is characterised by his use of sidenotes and marouflage while blending figurative and abstract images. Alechinsky’s style in the later artworks includes the usage of Indian ink as well as clear acrylic colours. Both Central Park and Passerelle (II) include brushwork and organic shapes, which between the two artworks have similarities with each other. The brushwork for example, creates lines that creates movement which can be seen in the central pictures of Central Park and Passerelle (II). Alechinsky’s style is also characterised by square and rectangular shapes that contains pictures. It is a style in the grey zone of abstraction and figuration, where conscious movement and structured spontaneity meet.

The genre paintings of the artist Pehr Hilleström (1732–1816) are frequently used as illustrations of everyday life in the Swedish late Eighteen-century bourgeois households. The aim of this study is to examine Hilleströms interior scenes as a source to the cultural history of the Eighteenth century in Sweden.  The Eighteenth century is often described as a period when the concepts of home and household changed and came to be seen as something private and more intimate than before. In this study I examine if these new perceptions of the household found expression in Hilleströms images. In addition, I also analyze if, and to what extent these images can be seen as moralizing.  I do this by examining Hilleströms bourgeoise interiors in relation both to French genre painting, and to accounts of home and household derived from readings of range of Eighteenth-century literary sources. In my examination of the views on household of Hilleström and his contemporaries I use Michael Baxandalls concepts troc and period eye. The primary sources I use to create a period eye, comprise novels, satirical verse, theatre plays and conduct books.  The study shows that Hilleströms images owe quite a lot to conventions of genre painting and, especially to French painters, such as Jean Baptiste Siméon Chardin. The content of Hilleström’s pictures correspond well to the image of the traditional, ideal home found in contemporary literature. However, the new, more sentimental ideas about home and household are not to be found in Hilleström’s images. Whether Hilleström’s images are moralizing or not, I find more difficult to conclude. While not explicitly satirical, in the light of the Eighteenth-century literary texts, they might have been interpreted so by the viewer.
