Resumen
Descripción
Durante gran parte de su itinerario plástico, el artista rosarino
Ricardo Warecki elaboró imágenes gráficas inspiradas
en los repertorios iconográficos y en las convenciones estéticas
de los movimientos modernos. Las nuevas formas
de figuración, el expresionismo y el surrealismo fueron reinterpretados
en una clave peculiar a partir de ilustraciones
y grabados. En ellos prevalece desde una mirada sobre el
sentimiento melancólico hasta paisajes oníricos, donde aparecen
el erotismo y la violencia de los márgenes urbanos o
la aspereza de la propia naturaleza. Estas imágenes, publicadas
en periódicos y revistas culturales de Rosario desde
finales de los años treinta hasta los primeros cuarenta, eran
acompañadas por relatos literarios con un estilo narrativo
cercano a lo fantástico. Si bien dicho vínculo operó como refuerzo
de sentidos, Warecki se permitió ciertas licencias que
le dejaron explorar significados diversos, excediendo las
propias narraciones literarias. En un continuo devenir entre
la representación de atmósferas de sosiego y escenarios
caóticos, sus ilustraciones exhibieron una mirada cargada de
emociones contrapuestas. Una ambigüedad que constituiría
un rasgo distintivo tanto de su obra gráfica como de su personalidad.
During a large part of their itinerary plastic, the artist of Rosario, Ricardo Warecki, produced graphic images inspired by the iconographic repertoire and the aesthetic forms of the modern movements. The new forms of figuration, expressionism and surrealism were reinterpreted in a peculiar key from illustrations and engravings. Therein prevails since a poetic vision about the melancholic feeling until oneiric landscapes where it appears the eroticism and the violence of the urban margins or the roughness of the nature. These images, published in newspapers and cultural magazines in Rosario from the late thirties until the first forty, were accompanied by stories with a narrative style close to the fantastic. While this link operated as booster of senses, Warecki were allowed certain licenses that abled him to explore diverse meanings, exceeding the own literary narratives. In a continuous state of flux between the representation of the atmospheres of calmness and chaotic scenarios, his illustrations exhibited a gaze charged of contrasting emotions. An ambiguity that would be a distinct feature in his graphic and his personality.
