RESUMO

The aesthetic capture experience is presented as of the impact undergone by the author in her encounter with Perseu and Medusa sculptured by Camille Claudel and all the issues consequent to that episode. She searches other author’s similar encounters, such as that of Freud with Michelangelo’s Moses aiming at identifying those more general elements composing that experience called in this paper as “capture”. At the same time the author does not disconsider the subjective and singular aspects of encounters such as these. Reflecting over the sculpture she engages in biographic issues and their contextualization. Starting with the myth and the specificity of sculpturing through History, aesthetic readings and psychoanalytic conceptions about art and creation, the author presents an understanding of art as a product of the relation between spectator and art. In other words, this is an epistemological perspective where subject and object are not apart and the significance of the event is part of the experience. The essence of these understandings happens therefore as the experience occurs and not as the product of a deciphering act. A series of dialogs are presented in this paper between Psychoanalisis and Art, leading the reader to reflect on the possibilities of cross linking between these two expressions.
