"Joana´s in the park"

Tem 100x100cm e é um retrato da Joana no Parque, como o próprio nome indica. É uma pintura que tenta pensar os propósitos do retrato na pintura contemporânea, e como tal, tem um certo numero de indicativos referentes que nos ajudam a reflectir sobre isso, nomeadamente o facto de ela estar a ler o livro "Work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction" de Walter Benjamin. Aqui tento acentuar a ideia de que, se com a fotografia, a pintura é liberta da representação do real, qual o sentido de continuar a retratar pessoas através do processo pictórico, quando através de um simples clic esse assunto fica resolvido?(por exemplo)

It is a painting that tries to think the purpose of portraiture in contemporary painting, and as such has a certain number of indicators relating to help us reflect on this, including the fact that she was reading the book "Work of Art in the age of mechanical Reproduction "by Walter Benjamin.
