Abstract
Ao longo do processo de exploração dos humanos da África e da recriação do
“afro” no Brasil, as formas materiais, tecnológicas e estéticas elaboradas por
africanos e seus descendentes criaram na América Latina uma atmosfera que
foi identificada devido à deformação plástica diante da ideologia do imperialismo colonial. Se, de um lado, o barroco brasileiro, ainda que inconsciente de si, expressava-se por meio das suas dobras num “mesticismo” nacional (misticismo mestiço), de outro, um estupendo artístico foi deflagrado a partir da exaltação precoce do “primitivismo” — noção que se desdobrou no tom “carnavalesco” do carro alegórico de opulência barroca: se lá houve “distorção” plástica, então, essa fora bem genuína!

Description
Throughout the process of exploitation of human beings in Africa and the recreation of the “Afro” culture in Brazil, the material, technological and aesthetic forms elaborated by Africans and their descendants created in Latin America an atmosphere that was identified with plastic deformation due to the ideology of colonial imperialism. If, on the one hand, the Brazilian Baroque, although unaware of itself, expressed itself through its folds in a national “mestizo style” (mestizo mysticism), on the other hand, an artistic wonder was unleashed based on the early exaltation of “primitivism” — a notion that unfolded in the “carnivalesque” tone of the baroque opulence of the allegorical chariot: if there was plastic “distortion”, then, it was very genuine!
