Abstract
Leonardo da Vinci é o primeiro caso paradigmático conhecido do poder do Pensamento Visual. A par dos meios que o desenho não assistido já oferecia aos artistas, que o combinavam com uma curiosidade insaciável, a Câmara Obscura e a Câmara Lúcida ofereceram a capacidade do desenho assistido. A invenção da fotografia e a sua rápida evolução técnica, vieram a definir Robert Chester Smith enquanto investigador em história da arte. Desenho e fotografia oferecem ferramentas essenciais aos vários tempos do Pensamento Visual do happening visual, ao feed-back, suportando novas leituras e abordagens originais. Nos livros de Robert Chester Smith, contactamos com a sua extensa obra fotográfica em que imagem e texto são simbióticos. O seu processo mental e discurso visual subjacente, evidente na fina interligação com o discurso escrito, culmina num meta-texto integrador.
Leonardo da Vinci is the first known paradigmatic case of the power of Visual Thinking. Alongside the means that unassisted drawing already offered to the few artists, who combined it with an insatiable curiosity, the Camera Obscura and the Camera Clara offered the capacity of assisted drawing. The invention of photography and its galloping technical evolution came to define Robert Chester Smith as a researcher in the history of art. Drawing and photography offer essential tools for the various moments in visual thinking. From the visual happening, to feed-back, supporting new readings and original approaches. In Robert Chester Smith’s books, we come into contact with his extensive photographic work, in which image and text are symbiotic. Its underlying mental process and visual discourse, evident in the fine interconnection with the written discourse, culminates in an integrative meta-text.
