Cadernos A & B: Prelúdio e Fuga
Event
Gabinete do Desenho of Casa Guerra Junqueiro hosts the exhibition "Cadernos A & B: Prelúdio e Fuga", by artist Jorge Feijão. With free entry, until it achieves the venue’s maximum capacity, and following the scrupulous compliance with preventive measures, the exhibition can be visited until 24 January 2021.
It is a unique opportunity to discover an immense series of drawings, of small format, between the sketch and the finished drawing, the light and the dark, the speed and the reflection of the hand and thought. As if in this exhibition at Museu da Cidade, the drawing itself was revealed through a certain musical cadence.
The set of works that is on display constitutes - let us make the analogy - as a palimpsest of motifs that are similar to an imagery atlas.
Widely used in the Middle Ages, palimpsest was a manuscript in parchment or papyrus, which was regularly scraped or erased to allow the reuse of the material and the subsequent overlapping of a new writing, even though traces of the previous handwritten text could be seen.
