Abstract

In order to encourage the appropriation among researchers of different audiovisual productions, this paper brings together the methodological resources used by Bordwell and Baxandall in the analysis of stylistic issues in two types of artistical productions: movies and paintings. The work identifies connecting points between both authors and shows how they complement each other. Among them are the development of analysis focused on the expressive forms of their respective artistic works, the use of the paradigm problem/solution, the refusal of universalizing theories, an attentive historical perspective, and the concern not to impose method over the artistic production investigated, respecting the modes of composition of each work.
