RESUMO

Tapestry is one of the oldest artistic languages that survived through time and is revealing in the worlds distinct regions. This work aims to watch anachronically the Middle Ages tapestries series denominated The Lady and the Unicorn and examples of contemporary tapestries, both starting from a card and using materials and colors compatible to its time of execution. In a second moment it intends to analyze the narrators figure, enunciated by Walter Benjamin, doing a parallel with the tapestry weaver when this passes along the technical knowledge to young tapestry weavers. This process repeats itself through time and is adapted to the realities of the many regions where it is done. Watching many examples of contemporary tapestries images it is possible to perceive a dialogue with the painting. Such the trompe loeil as the reticule are features that appear in both languages. Maybe in the Middle Age painting was at service of the tapestry, but through time this process has changed and today tapestry searches its own identity. The first hypothesis due to this supposed change occurred in the centuries is the anachrony which Georges Didi-Huberman describes in many other artistic manifestations. The second hypothesis is that the technical resources used in the Middle Age still are the reference to the contemporary tapestry weaver. Perhaps semblance is the best definition in the search for the contemporary tapestrys identity. The third hypothesis shows that the tapestry demands an exhaustive learning time, other of card creation and work execution. Maybe the small tapestries or mini-textiles are the solution found nowadays such in factor time as the works final costs. The research is theoretical, but is only completed through analysis of images which allow a bigger approximation to the process. This is a basic research and the theoretical-methodological references are structured in the Brazilian tapestry weavers reality that has access to this content via Internet, books and imported magazines; however there are lacks of living changes. To present this research maybe renews and instigates the local tapestry weaver
