Miguel Fabruccini: pintura y filosofía

Abstract

In the painting of Miguel Fabruccini (Salto, Uruguay, 1949) an unwritten rule is observed that predominates in many Uruguayans: absence of "local color", internationalist vocation, parenthesis back to the origins and finally projection of the particular-personal or historical - in a certain philosophical formulation, which in this case is the Epicurean doctrine of Lucretius. This final phase is reached after having gone through an informal one, another of preference for the geometric shapes in which the houses are configured (of "another country" and of exile) and another exaltation of the human body that culminates in the series of couples. intertwined in the familiar and evocative tango. To conclude (at least it is what is seen in his most recent works) in epiphanies, partly vegetable, that invite to believe in a continuous cycle in which life always begins again.
