Abstract

In this work, we intend to show the efficacity of the

semiotical theory applied to the reading of non-verbal texts (painting,

sculpture, drawing). Our discussion is based on the French semiotics

theory builded by Julien Algirdas Greimas (1917-1992). According to

the semiotics, there are verbal texts and non-verbal texts, and any

kind of text is composed by two plans: the “content plan” and the

“expression plan”. In the content plan, we have structures of meaning

organized in a “generative course of meaning”, while in the

expression plan includes, in the painting, the color, the space, the

light and the form. The generative course of meaning is a model of

building sense that can be use to understanding a non-verbal text,

like the painting, for example. About this points, we work with a

canvas by Manoel da Costa Ataíde (1762-1830), a brazilian artist,

from the state of Minas Gerais, that painted episodes of Christ`s life.
