Description
Book with iconic works of the painter. All aesthetic activity aims to define this factor that, in artistic creation, transcends the pure representation of the object. That is to say: the theory looks for words which represent an image that in practice can only be translated into necessarily plastic forms. Let us mention some of these key phrases, to which we are get used to from school desks: “In essence, art is not representation but the revelation of the object”; “Revelation replaces the image of the sign”; “It is not enough to represent beings or things, we must know how to express it through the dynamism of the signs”. It is necessary to make “visible the invisible” (Paul Klee), “replace the object with the inner need” (Kandinsky). “Art is the language of the soul” (René Huyghe); “The spiritual turn into sensitive” (Hegel).
