Resumo
Cunha é uma pequena cidade situada a extremo leste do Estado de São Paulo, que tem sua origem, em meados do século XVIII, atrelada ao fluxo de tropas que percorriam a trilha do ouro das Minas Gerais ao porto de Paraty-RJ, atualmente como Estrada Real. Desde cedo sua história demonstrou afinidade com a produção de objetos cerâmicos: a princípio com peças utilitárias, feitas por mulheres conhecidas como Paneleiras, influenciadas entre outras coisas, na hoje extinta produção ceramista de tribos indígenas que habitavam aquela região, posteriormente pelas Olarias que a partir da forma retangular do tijolo, permitiram à cidade se reedificar. Mais recentemente, na década de 1975, a chegada de um grupo de pretensos ceramistas, a maioria deles estrangeiros, imprime ali, outros olhares sobre a produção do objeto cerâmico que ao longo dos últimos trinta e seis anos, projetaram a cidade como um importante pólo ceramista nacional. Interessa-nos buscar entender quais as principais características identificam este processo de transformação, para então termos condições de responder à questão que motivou grande parte desta pesquisa: será possível nos referirmos à cerâmica produzida em Cunha, como sendo de Cunha? O corpo principal deste texto está dividido em quatro capítulos, cuja ordem tem por objetivo compilar de forma didática informações que permitam o entendimento daquilo que chamaremos: Caminhos da Cerâmica em Cunha. No primeiro capítulo buscaremos situá-los, mostrando algumas de suas particularidades históricas e estéticas. Esclarecidos sobre a existência e importância deste corpo cultural maior, poderemos imergir no universo da Alta Temperatura, a começar pelo entendimento das características que conferem ao forno Noborigama importância primordial...
Cunha is a small town located in the east part of the state of São Paulo. It was originated in the 18th century, due to the troops that covered the so called “gold path” from Minas Gerais to the port of Paraty-RJ. Since its beginning, Cunha´s history is related to the production of ceramic objects: at first, with utilitarian objects made by women known as Paneleiras, who were influenced by the now extinct ceramics of Indian tribes of the region, and later by the brick factories that enabled the town to re-edify. More recently, in 1975, the arrival of a group of ceramists- most of them foreigners- implanted a different way of thinking this production, that during the past thirty six years propelled the town to become an important Brazilian ceramist center. Our goal is to understand the main characteristics that identify this transformation, in order to answer the question that motivated most of this study: is it possible to refer to the ceramic production made in Cunha as being, in fact, typically “Cunhan”? The main part of this text is divided in four chapters; which´s ordering has the goal to compile information in a didactic way that allows the understanding of what we decided to call the Ceramic Path from Cunha. In the first chapter we try to point these paths, revealing some of their historical and aesthetic characteristics. After the understanding of their existence and importance, we can explore the universe of High Temperature, starting with the recognition of the great importance that this study confers to Noborigama kiln. The third chapter is focused on the process of ceramic production and will analyze technical procedures practiced by nowadays ceramists from Cunha. It shows the preparation of clay, modeling and burning of the pieces. On the end, it analyses the specific dynamic of some studios, which reveals... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
