Tangenciamentos entre arte e moda na obra de Ivanildo Nunes

Abstract

This work seeks to understand how the artisans who work for the Ivanildo Nunes studio understand the concept of art and how they consider crafts as art and artisans as artists, using as a tool of analysis a dress from the brand that was paraded in Paris and received from the stylist the status of work of art. The beginning of the work was done a bibliographic research on handicrafts, knowing the definitions, the typologies and raw materials used by the artisans, soon afterwards the topics of art and popular art were approached, trying to understand the difference between them, afterwards the work continued with research on the creative process, design with handicrafts, so that we can reach the stylist and artisans. In order to obtain the answers, an interview was made with the stylist Ivanildo Nunes to delimit the theme and learn about the stylist's trajectory, early career and how his dresses achieved the status of work of art, using a semi-structured interview held at the studio of brand. Then, interviews were conducted with two artisans residing in Fortaleza, these interviews were conducted via whatsapp message application and were answered in audio form by the artisans. Based on the answers, it was found that the artisans understand that handicrafts and art involve feelings of fulfillment and personal satisfaction for those who produce, that it is a job that requires planning in every detail and that the brand's dresses are works of art for bringing these feelings to those involved, so for artisans handicraft is art, even if at certain times they do not consider themselves artists, in addition to realizing that discussions about handicrafts as art is something that has been discussed for a long time and we cannot say that it is right or wrong, but we continue to study on the subject, in order to bring new notes on the same.
