PAUL GOMA. ADAMEVA: L’UNIVERS PITTORESQUE DE LA FEMME

Summary/Abstract: Being a part of a large study, the text aims to explore the picturesque world of woman in a period when the Romanian society was paralysed in its deepest structures. Described in hard tones of violent and dramatic contrasts that took place in Lăteşti during the compulsory residence, the book depicts (thanks to between times and not only) an idyllic and paradisiacal space, emerged from the depraved society. Both activated by the instinct of life and that of death, the story brings out two contrasting images that enhance its momentum. Moreover, starting from the exemplification of some perceptions of the woman, the artist succeeds, through the regularity of the rhythm, the symmetry and the repetition of architectural forms, to neutralize the usual provisions and feelings of the recipient and to translate him into a higher reality, visible, pure and autonomous. For he has the amazing ability to extract and shape, from uniform cloaca, the rough and primitive beauty of the female image as a copy of the one outgoing from the hands of the Creator. Transferring items from her to him and vice versa reveals significant changes in the registry of artistic means and in its coverage of the social area. For, if one of the portraits intends to evoke the particular state of the Unknown woman, its resumption from the end of the description evokes the general condition of the woman in a general impoverished Romania. Shrouded in wonder and pity, it stirs the depths through a language of the sight, from soul to soul, the only one able to cover the nakedness of hard times and make a sustainable work out of a ephemeral vision.
