RESUMO

This research investigates the picturesque in contemporaneity of works produced by me, especifically photographs, where such aesthetic category can be highlighted. From Richard Payne Knight, Uvedale Price and William Gilpin, three main XVIII theoreticians, the picturesque was conceptualized as a model for arranging and as landscape itself. Together with these authors, the artist Claude Lorrain was studied, on account of the magnificence nature of his landscapes, and Robert Smithson, author of Monuments of Passaic. Both problematize the picturesque and time, which are issues that were later investigated in tandem with George Didi-Hubermans concept of survival and Rosalind Krausss concept of originality. Such approaches highlight a picturesque that is not only aesthetic, closed typology inside objective and formal qualities, but also reverberations that invite other ways of looking at contemporary landscape. The works that I present in this study used these theoretical and historical issues to understand the allure of determined conditions of nature elements found both in and out of the city space. Grasses, weeds and other plants appear in wastelands, lagoons and beaches, sidewalks and walls, equivalent to the longed English garden nature for showing how splendid the natural growth is
