Abstract

This article aims to develop a philosophical understanding of the role of inspiration in artistic elaboration based on the conception established by F. Hegel in his Aesthetics Course. To this end, improvisation art, typical of the poetic work of Brazilian popular artists, is taken here as a paradigm of inspired composition and artistic elaboration, since Hegel himself takes the Italian improvisation art as an ideal example for his analysis. Taking into account the positions established, on the one hand, by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, for whom inspiration plays a fundamental role in the experience of poetic elaboration, and, on the other hand, by João Cabral de Melo Neto, for whom modern poetry is much more about perspiration than inspiration, we will try to show how in Hegelian thought we can see that inspiration and the work of art are both decisive in artistic creation. We will show how this synthesis is perfectly developed in Popular Improvised Poetry.
