Metaphor of father absence in a family in daughter's visual art
CÁBOVÁ, Zuzana
The bachelor thesis deals with the topic of the absence of the father in the family during the development and growing up of the daughter, the consequences of this absence and their reflection in the visual production of the adult daughter. The theoretical part summarizes the basics of the current understanding of the complex relationships between father and daughter. Furthermore, the basic principles of the interpretation of pictorial symbolism are described. In the practical part, the relationships between the physical or emotional absence of the father, paternal deprivation and the symbolic meaning of the daughter's artistic artefacts are sought. For the analysis of art metaphors were used pictorial series of 9 women whose life experience best fit the goal of the thesis. The first eighteen paintings (i.e. three authors) were interpreted in detail in the text; the analyzes of the other series of pictures were given only by a headword in the interpretational summary. The result of the interpretation work was to find a lot of metaphors of the father's absence and paternal deprivation. Metaphors appeared across the entire formal and content levels of the visual work. The symbols and metaphors found proved to be inseparable from their pictorial context, yet their discovery brought interesting insights into the issue.
