Diseño de un artbook sobre la vida de Flora Tristán y Paul Gauguin con base en documentación histórica

Abstract

The following work is supported by two impactful trajectories, whose protagonists provided humanitarian contributions in their corresponding context. To emphasize a strategic point, the focal axis of this project centers around the Gauguin Chazal family. This family tree includes two members: Flora Tristán and Paul Gauguin. Although they never met, they were pioneers in their respective interests: Tristán in social struggle and Gauguin in the artistic field. Despite the disparity in their actions and contributions, the different historical periods in which they lived allow for an interesting relationship to be established. The purpose of this project is to capture the journey of these two revolutionaries through illustration. By combining graphic and editorial design with historical documentation, true recorded events from their lives are presented. The content, designed for university students interested in cultural and artistic topics, is quite complex. For the development of the illustrated book, Bruno Munari’s Project Method systematically outlines twelve stages. We have chosen ten of these phases to adapt the process to our product, resources, and timeline. Starting from problem identification and prototyping, we consider the materials and technologies used until we reach a solution. With its wide spectrum of elements, Munari’s approach makes this project a satisfying challenge as we recognize and capture important figures from human history.
