• Resumen

  • In the contribution is assumed that, within the larger Visual Culture, the Drawing (especially considering the graphics trace as signifier) is a strong character in the formal language. If this is true always, of particular interest appears the role of the “tracer mean” in the decoration of ceramic, support that may enhance the expressive characteristics inherent in visual project: by the immediate spontaneity of the manual sign, freely conducted (e.g. in decorations landscapes and figures) up to the rigor of geometric patterns, also realized through stencil and “masks”.

    Another goal of this paper is to probe the relationship between expressive and technical aspects and contained meanings. Without excluding the essential cultural matrices in the training of artisans and artists, viewed in a first reference historical-critical context.
