THE ART OF ISMAEL NERY

: The main subject of this text is the imagery that constitutes Ismael Nery from his plastic production. The aim is, therefore, in view of the analysis of some works, to verify the various influences received such as expressionism, cubism, among others and how they functioned in a productive way in his art. In its final phase, the evident approximation to surrealist language stands out, but also the importance of essentialism on its poetics. Finally, it is verified that the imagery that he produced, in his expressionist period, constitutes the basis of his essentialist conceptualization and that the operative procedure and the philosophical thinking form a unit in the set of his poetics.
