Expresivitatea portretului prin anamorfoze (deformarea și reconstrucția unui tot unitar)
Expression of the portrait by anamorphosis (Distortion and reconstruction of a whole)

Summary/Abstract: The image of nature and, more obviously, of the portrait in art bears the imprint of an elaboration and interpretation of the visible through the subjective universe of the artist resulting in the expressiveness, namely - plastic, of the portrait. The anamorphosis of the portrait realized by caricature, a way of exaggerating some, especially negative, traits, in the sense of Van Gogh, belongs indefinitely to expressionism, because in order to succeed in formulating an idea about the one taken under observation, the artist distorts his traits. "Artworks are not mirrors, but share the inscrutable magic of transformation that is so difficult to express in words."2 Works and artistic motifs are resumed and reinterpretedby artists, being influenced by the context in which they were created and by the concept of the artist. For example, the motive of the kiss is represented in art in various instances, such as the work of Gustav Klimt, like Edvard Munch's creation, which was also revealed by the work that preceded it, entitled "The Kiss". Both represent portraits achieved by anamorphosis.
