RESUMO

The ornament in visual arts a pictorial element that functions as a complement or beauty enhancement in a visual composition - is considered the most banal, and even disposable aspect of images. But this superficiality is only apparent, masking a complexity that unfolds in a series of formal, symbolic and theoretical questions. In this way, the ornament can be thought of as a superficial abbyss, and the questions it raises may be suggested in pairs of conceptual oppositions, which can only be resolved through paradox. Thus, this work consists of a series of essays, each starting out with an image whose ornaments referr to the conceptual opposition in question. The discussions are then illustrated and enriched with the addition of other images, forming anachronic series. Through these ornaments, issues of art history are explored, like that of the ornament as filling - based on the theoretical literature produced in this respect, particularly in the second half of the nineteenth century, by authors such as Riegl, Wornum and Goodyear - of luxury and expenditure - based on literature produced in first half of the twentieth century by names such as Bataille, Caillois and Loos - and eroticism - point of confluence of the previous discussions
