Genealogy as History: From Pupil to Artist as the Dynamics of Genius, Status, and Inventiveness in Art Education in Portugal

Abstract

This chapter identifies the cultural debates, institutional solutions, and practices in the context of arts education and training in Portugal after the end of the eighteenth century. The ways in which the school shaped and mobilized itself to supply the arts student with the cognitive tools and instrumental techniques that would enable him to produce artifacts contrasts to regular education, in which the student traditionally plays the role of a translator of stabilized scientific truths. The text identifies and discusses the meanings of various historical mutations involved in a complex social operation that we still recognize: the transformation of pupil into artist.
