Thanks for pushing me to count one of the most chilling lyrics 20 th century.
Which helped the formation of personality is not one million people , including me, a sinner .
One of the major texts in my life.
I wonder how old were you when you read this , " one of the most chilling lyrics 20 century ? At what age is it to you " helped the formation of identity ?
And in whose translation you read this text ?
Or do you read it in its original language ?
Share , Igor Sasha , I am now even become interested .
For example, I want to know more about this moment , " the formation of personality " since I have this " one of the most chilling lyrics 20 century " did not read and my personality formation , apparently went to perekosyak .
Not those books as a child I read , apparently durachina ...
Igor Sasha, thank you for giving me a reason to read this remarkable book, CS Lewis.

Cyril Syzransky, there is not so simple. To me this writer is also made at the time a strong impression, and it has not dissipated. But he wrote not what we need to stamp out "improper art" and that moves the soul of the artist.
That is totally an episode of "dissolution of marriage, which provided an opportunity for conversation (the action takes place in Paradise):
Quote:
I've seen and quite wonderful ghosts who have overcome great distances to a stop just to let you know how they despise happiness. And it is not pereterpish, only to say in the face of this saint, this puritan, this clean, this wimp, that the women that they spit on them!
- How do they penetrated here? - I asked.
- It is these often remain, - replied the teacher. - Those who hate the good, closer to him than those about him not thinking, or those who believe that it is in their pocket.

- Hey, look! "- The teacher said. We stood in some bushes and I saw them, how to meet another ghost, and bright spirit. At first it seemed to me like a ghost, I know, but then I realized that I just saw on the ground of his photograph. He was a famous painter.
- Lord, - he exclaimed, looking around.
- You want something to ask him? "- Said the Spirit.
- What do you mean? "- Did not understand the Ghost.
- You called him.
- And, there's that! .. No, I meant to say: "Damn!" ... Or something like that. In general ... well, you know ... well it would all have to write.
- You look out at first.
- What you write is not allowed?
- No, please, just need to look at first.
- Yes, I watched. Saw the need. Ah, the sketchbook is not captured! Spirit shook his head, flashing hair.
- There is nothing, - he said.
- In what sense? - Asked the ghost.
- When you wrote on the ground - or rather, when did you start writing, you catch glimpses of paradise is what I saw. If you go well the picture, they saw, and others. And here and so paradise. Hence, reflections, and walked. We need not talk about it, we see it.
- So, you do not need to write?
- No, you can write and we have. When will you be what you thought of God (no, we all were), you'll see something that is given to only see you, and you want to share with us. And now - the sooner. Now - look.
Both were silent. Finally Ghost slack said:
- It will be happy ...
- Well, let's go, - said the Spirit. - Lean on my arm.
- And I will soon be allowed to write? "- Asked the ghost. Spirit laughed.
- Well, if you think about it, you generally will not be able to write, he said.
- What do you mean?
- If you look only to write, you do not see.
- And what an artist has to look at?
- You forgot - "said the Spirit. - You yourself did not begin with this. Your first love was a light, and you began to write, to show it to others.
- Oh, when it was - dismissed the Ghost. - Since I grew up. Of course, you've seen my latest works. I am interested in painting itself.
- Yes, and I had by this treatment. If it were not for grace, every poet, musician and artist go from first love to the very depths of hell. I mean, no one stops at art for art's sake. Then to love one myself, my glory.
- Someone who, but I ... - The Phantom offended.
- Good, - said the Spirit. - Few of us could say that, when here came. But that's nothing. This inflammation heals our source.
- What is the source?
- There, in the mountains. He is cold and clean. When out of him get drunk, you forget who wrote the picture, you or you are not. Just rejoice. Do not be proud, do not be shy, and you rejoice.
- Great ... - Ghost responded without proper fervor.
- Well, let's go, - said the Spirit, - are all interested in each other.
- Mm ... I actually ... I mean our own. I see Claude? See Cezanne? I see ...
- Probably, if we have them.
- And you, well, you know?
- Of course not. I've been recently. How can they meet? Us artists, there's a lot.
- They're not just painters! They are celebrities.
- What were celebrities! How do you not understand? Here, we have all - in glory.
- Are you saying that you have no famous people?
- All known. All know, of all remember all know the One Who judges the right.
- And, yes, in that sense - quite sad ghost.
- Come, come, - said the Spirit, as the newcomer seemed to be resisted.
- Well, our reward - praise among the descendants, - said the Ghost.
- Do not you know? - Surprised Spirit.
- About what?
- The fact that we are with you no one remembers the earth?
- What do you mean? "- And the Ghost tore his arm. - So, those damn neoregionalisty prevailed?
- Well, of course! - Happily replied the Spirit. - Not for thee, not for my picture and five pounds will not give. We went out of fashion.
- Let me go! "- Cried the Ghost. - In the end, I have a duty to the art! I will write an article. I'll release a manifesto. We will begin publishing a newspaper. Let me go, I have not time for jokes!
And, without listening to the Spirit, ghost disappeared.
Glimpses of divine light illuminate not only the green leaves, they fill the whole immensity of space of worlds. I know artists who access it in an abstract way in order to better convey saved them from the initial surprise of youth before the majesty and mystery of Creation. And CS Lewis would have understood them as they are able to understand it.

Imagine for a moment that of museums, collections, art books, art disappeared from the memory of all signatures on the paintings - no names, no dates, no names. Evaporated as all artistic manifestos, there were only vague memories of the big areas - realism, abstract art. Themselves carried pictures of the temples of art to the warehouse, and mixed them without any order.
And now, after the repair and whitewash, it was decided to re-hang the picture, but not anyhow, with the analysis: that no one on the wall figurativizm not side by side with pointlessness. Complicated cases are also resolved to unravel the way: those pictures where the figures are more like a real - on the wall of the realists, others - to hang abstractionist.
Comrade Igor Gurieva, of course, included in the commission of hanging, and gave him a personal mission: to choose a wall for a dozen paintings - those shown below (remember that neither the pictures nor the memory are no names there ).
As soon as Genosse Sasha hangs Matisse, Picasso, Braque and Nolde on an abstract wall is becoming clearer to us why all of these tovarischi today peacefully divide the vast shadow of the notorious baobab with citizens abstraktistami:
- A modern "abstract" free passes from abstract forms to the object and back;
- The modern "realism" is widely practiced by the synthesis of figurative and non-figurative elements.
Consider, for example, the abstractionist work Gordon Howard Hodgkin, which - thanks to her - reminded yesterday LCR.
Demarcation line would in such cases carried out on living. Therefore, to the AI without any complexes include semi-abstract work today or abstract works with explicit substantive associations.

Quote:
in the structure of any paintings depicting as it contains some neizobrazhayuschaya pattern (most often, however, it is subject to other compositional characteristics, adapted to what the objects they depict and how.) As its essential component and that the value of this component is essential depends aesthetic value of the whole picture. Seen this particular component in the overall picture and give yourself the power of a peculiar aesthetic values that the component enters - that's the main function of adequate perception of paintings as works of art - a function, without which, strictly speaking, no aesthetic perception of the painting. The fact that in certain patterns, namely, the paintings depict the aesthetic perception of the painting does not end there, no doubt, after an earlier analysis of multilayer patterns. There are paintings that his dual nature as abstract paintings and pictures depicting reveal particularly clearly: they can perceive, respective «read," two completely different ways, because they are not subjects of the image prevails over the whole complex is colored spots. I am reminded here of paintings by Jacques Villon, exposed to the Juvenile in 1956 in Venice (in the department of French painting). Through a system of relatively large single-color stains, limited among straight lines (color), he gets on the one hand, a purely abstract, neizobrazhayuschuyu picture that can be "read" as a multi-colored planar product, leading to the creation of a specific, arose on the basis of the image. And in another mounting position taken by the viewer, the picture at some time finds that these color patches (polygons) are the shape and relative position of that amount as if the reconstruction of the form (as if one kind of cracked, like glass, many explicitly delimited from each other by plane), through which emerges to some extent illusory, some images are subject: the landscape, disappearing into the picture of old streets and etc. Both of these "people" paintings, in this case is admissible, and they both create an aesthetically valuable qualities, and the possibility of concentrating the viewer or in one or the other "face" of the picture reveals the richness of these special works of art. I should say that this perception of paintings by Jacques Villon (in any case, it seemed to me) that a uniform system of color spots emerges barely looming landscape (Prof. Tatarkevich with which we saw an exhibition in Venice, in a conversation with me about the paintings Villon noticed that they appear only "suggestion" depicted the subject. In this view there is something close to the truth: This item is not imposed on us in his rough physicality, as is the case in the paintings of Rubens.), in no way depletes the whole in its values contained in the selection of colors. In other words, a well-known specification of abstract paintings by Jacques Villon not deprive them of their dignity as abstract paintings. Perhaps because of this whole complex structure of paintings of "abstract" side of its values prevail over "substantive" side. But even the "hint" to the image of the object in the product makes the product more crowded than a purely abstract paintings.
The Art of the XX century has put forward many different varieties of abstract painting and the different types of abstraction. I can not here to give them a lot of attention are limited, as before, only the fundamental questions of the structure pattern. But in general it would be interesting to analyze in detail "abstract" art of the XX century, based on the concepts and distinctions, received my research.
Will express here a few comments on that particular type of pictures that appeared in European painting by Picasso. Picasso paintings are of the type as an intermediate between the purely abstract painting, decorative painting, and finally imaging, multi-layered painting.
Namely, some elements of the painting will be exactly the same as in abstract painting, with particular emphasis decorative painting, while others are like fragments of images of objects (Such a fragmented image of the object is, in turn, some type of "abstract" is, of course, in a completely different meaning than when the "abstract" is the absence of images of objects.), but not manifested by one or another kind of sense, evolved into a whole picture as a special factor, and "painted" as if "right" in their pure subject components (if at all possible) (Such "direct" to draw some things in them some sort of purely substantive terms, with the smallest component of the facilitation of species seen in the pictures Taranchevskogo in which the emphasis lies on the harmony of colors and their mutual dynamics. Despite the fact that in his paintings as many subjects, the major compositional factor is, if I may say so, what is the essence of pure abstract art. This is especially noticeable when examined a series of several of his paintings with a very close subject-layers and with different color harmony, realized like in different colors. Unfortunately, monochrome prints do not give a clue about the real person, and specific values of painting Taranchevskogo.). It's like a part of things, of course, necessarily brought before us in a simplified form, but that the perception of the viewer as though nothing remains of this species, but all his attention is directed to the very thing presented to us, however, only in some of its fragment. Species factor here is so dimmed that he, for example, often leads to the constitution of the depicted three-dimensional space in which these fragments were things. However, one can also say that they are in the plane of the picture, though, and lose much of its three-dimensionality. Due to its fragmentation, they encourage the viewer to imagine some thing (the whole), but it does not reach its vision in terms of visual (visual) perception by means of knowing some (reconstructed in the picture) species, as is the case in multi-scenes in which a layer of species is the primary vehicle of comprehension image of the object. Often in the film of this type serves many such subject fragments, pieces of some things, observed from different sides to encourage the viewer's imagination add up to one whole view of the same things in a way that we present it in conjunction with the various parties or in various phases of existence.
The viewer is not so much a spectator as a poet, creates itself in the imagination of some specific items, although it must be constantly at the same time look at the picture and see that it can be seen. In this case, will be patchy as an observer and the position of the perceived object - the painting. Here the picture takes place as if on the border between painting and literature, though very differently than in the case of paintings from a literary theme, which we analyzed earlier. For in such a picture it does not reach the display and "reification" of a life situation, and even before kvazichuvstvennogo presence of people and things involved in a constant situation. Despite this, the picture is by its very structure takes the viewer outside the picture itself, introducing it to the imaginary objects and giving them much greater freedom of imagination, than in the case of paintings with literary theme, which is after all the "distractions" from the audience it ultimately attracts its attention to themselves, and in particular to the situation presented in it. Picasso as a distraction from the viewer the picture itself is a new kind of "abstract" paintings, different from those discussed above.
Well , I thought , comrade . Art Lover , which you will seek and find such pictures by Picasso and Matisse , in which they have come to abstract art .
Yes, sometimes , yes , came as extreme , so to speak.
Very rare .
But there were artists ( ie figurativistami ) .
Abstraktivistami did not .
As a single experiment - why not paint abstraction ?
But already the second will give a boredom .

Perhaps the most sophisticated audiences they will see at once carrying a revelation masterpieces, the rest, worth thinking about how to recognize a rose named Rose.

Under the sign of (Name of the Rose), then of course a work of art, as embodied can be understood as a rose (meaning).
If before the pictures were dancing on point, the new art of the birthright was transferred to an art object, and worries about the meaning assigned to the interpreter.

From the Preface to the 2-second edition (1967)
If we had a few words to give an idea about the subject of the present study, we referred to the notion, now subsumed into many modern aesthetics: a work of art is fundamentally ambiguous message, the plurality of means, which coexist in the same signifier. This is characteristic for any artistic work ... but the theme of the first essay and follow-up is reduced to the fact that such ambiguity is (in modern poetics) a clearly defined units of the author, a task that must be implemented before other ...
Because often in order to accomplish this task, contemporary artists are turning to the ideals of informality, disorder, randomness, uncertainty of the results, we also tried to put the problem of the dialectical relationship between "form" and "openness" that is, to establish the extent to which this or that product can be as multi-valued and depend on the active intervention of the person who perceives, without ceasing, however, be a "product". By "product" we mean an object endowed with certain structural properties that permit, but at the same time coordinate alternation of interpretations to shift perspectives.
However, just to understand what the nature of the multivalency sought by modern poetry, in these essays we had to schedule another angle of research, in some respects, has acquired paramount importance: we have tried to find out how the operational programs of art relate to the programs developed in the field of modern scientific research. In other words, we tried to figure out how a certain idea about the product is in connection with modern scientific methods or explicit dependence on them, especially in psychology or logic.
Introducing the first edition of this book, we thought it appropriate to synthesize this problem in a number of formulas that had obviously metaphorical coloring. We wrote this: "One theme of these studies, the reaction of art and its creators (the formal structures and poetry programs, they are the previous) cases uncertain, is likely to be ambiguous, polyvalent ... In general, we examine the different moments in which contemporary art has to be considered with disorder, which is not blind and incurable disorder, otmetaniem any sequencing capabilities, but is a fruitful disorder, the positivity of which showed us the modern culture: the erosion of the traditional order, which Western man believed unchanged and was identified with the objective structure of the world .... "
.......
The concept of "open work" has no axiological values. In these essays, we do not strive for ... to share the works of art for significant ("open") and small, old, bad ("closed"), we believe that we have sufficiently shown: openness, understood as a principle ambiguity of the artistic message, characteristic of any product at any time. Some artists and novelists, who, after reading this book, shows us his work and asked, "open" if they are, we were forced to explicitly polemical exaggeration to reply that he had never seen an "open works" and that in fact they are probably not exist. This paradox, we would like to say that the concept of "open work" is not a category of criticism, but it is a hypothetical model, even if developed through analysis of a wide concrete material, is extremely useful for that, with flexible and agile formulas indicate in which towards developing contemporary art.
In other words, the phenomenon of public works, we could indicate how that Rigla called word Kunstwollen, and Erwin Panofsky even better (freeing the concept from some traces of idealism) defines as "the last and ultimate meaning found in a variety of artistic phenomena, regardless of conscious decisions and attitudes of the author, "adding that such a concept indicates not so much on how artistic problems are solved, but rather on how they are used.
....
JOINT WORK IN FINE ARTS
When we speak of the poetics of the informal as a typical phenomenon in contemporary art, this term implies a kind of generalization: "informal" appears not only as a category of criticism, but also determines the overall trend in the culture of a certain period: in a similar vein, one should understand such figures as Walz or Brian, tashistov (tachistes), masters of action painting, art brut, art autre, etc. In this case falls under the category of informal broader definition of the poetics of the open work.
It is an open product as the product of which is determined by "field" of the various interpretive possibilities of the product, which appears as a kind of configuration of incentives, vested fundamental uncertainty, so that a person perceives it, is involved in a number of "reads" and always changeable; Finally, we are talking about the structure as a "constellation" of elements that may enter into various relationships. In this sense, informal in the painting echoes the open musical structures, characteristic of post-vebernianskoy music as well as with the "modern" poetry, which, with the consent of their representatives, have already adopted the name of "informal".
Informal in the painting could be seen as the last link in the chain of experiments aimed at to make a product of a certain "movement". However, the "movement" may be perceived differently, and the search for the motion were carried out throughout the evolution of the plastic arts: we find it already in the rock art, or in the shape of Nike of Samothrace (the desire to fixed, fixed lines to provide a movement characteristic of real objects images). Another form of movement, repetition of the same image in an attempt to portray a character or an event in consecutive moments of their development: this technique we observe on the tympanum of the portal Suyyak, which portrays the story of a cleric Theophilus, or "tapestry of Queen Mathilde in Bayeux, which represents the a real "movie" consisting of multiple sequential images. This, however, was about image motion using the principle of fixed structures, when the movement did not affect the product structure, the nature of the sign.
If we speak about the impact on the structure, in which case it is appropriate to recall Magnasco or Tintoretto, or even better-on the Impressionists: here the symbol in their quest to create the impression of internal recovery is imprecise and ambiguous. However, the ambiguity of the sign does not do very uncertain picture of the submitted forms: it allows to see in it a certain soprirodnuyu vibration, more intimate contact with the environment blurs the contours, rigid distinctions between one form and another, and between shapes and background. Nonetheless, the eyes are always set out to distinguish between these (and not other) forms (even if it already suggests the possibility of a sudden dissolution, promise a fruitful ambiguity, if there is a crisis of traditional configurations, the call to the formless, which is manifested in the cathedrals of the late Monet ).
Dynamic expansion of forms characteristic of the Futurists, and the disintegration of the composition of the Cubists certainly suggest other possibilities of mobility configurations, but, ultimately, this mobility is possible thanks to the stability of forms perceived as the source for granted and confirmed both times at the moment when they are rejected by the deformation or expansion of the composition.
In sculpture, we find another solution to open the product: plastic forms Gabo or Lippold encourages the viewer to an active intervention, to a moving address to discern the diversity of the original entity. Complete a form is constructed so that it looked ambiguous and variously looked from different viewpoints. As the viewer passes to it the form, she disclosed to him in different ways. To some extent this is already achieved in a baroque building, when there was a rejection of the preferred frontal perspective. It is clear that any sculpture can be seen from different viewpoints, and if the Apollo Belvedere viewed from the side, it will look different than from the front position. But (except in cases where a sculpture placed in such a way to deal with her only frontally, like statues on the columns in the Gothic cathedrals), the shape, viewed from different angles, always strives to direct our attention to the overall result, when other aspects are seen as complementary and are considered together. When we look at the Apollo back, we can guess about how it looks in general, frontal examination confirms the previous one, one of them makes much to the other as a complement, even imagined. The full form is gradually built up in memory and imagination.
With regard to works of Gabo, then, by contrast, viewed from below, it makes suspect the coexistence of different, mutually exclusive perspectives. We feel the satisfaction of our short-term perspective and find ourselves at a loss, we experience a curiosity, knowing that you can just imagine the fullness of prospects (which is actually impossible).
Calder goes one step further: it has the form itself moves before our eyes, and his thing is "the product in motion." This movement is consistent with the movement of the viewer. Strictly speaking, it should no longer occur two times when the location of things and the position of the viewer in exactly the same. Field choices are no longer suggests it is real, and the product is a field of possibilities. "Showcases" Munari, works in the movement started by the youngest members of the avant-garde, reach the most extreme conclusions to be drawn from these premises.
And here, in addition to these form-building areas we have and the direction of informal, where the very informal understood in a broad sense, which we have already identified. It is no longer talking about works of art are in motion, because the picture here, before our eyes, defined once and for all, physically completed, in artistic signs that compose it, likewise, we are not talking about the product, which requires movement of the viewer -it requires him less than any picture, suggesting that it would consider, bearing in mind how different the play of light on its rough surface on the reliefs of color. And yet before us now is the product of the open (like a more mature and dramatic), as the signs are here indeed consistent as some of the constellation in which the structural connection initially not uniquely defined, in which the ambiguity of the sign is not (as in the Impressionists) final confirmation of the differences between shape and background, but the background is the picture story (the plot is the background as the possibility of continuing the metaphor).
Hence, for the viewer the opportunity to choose their own direction and communication, the preferred angle, and the ability to anticipate vaguely in the background of the individual configuration of other possible structural differentiation, which are excluding each other, yet in constant co-presence and mutual exclusion-inclusion. Thus, there originate two problems involve not only the poetics of an informal, but any open poetics works:
1) The historical reasons, cultural background (background) of the form-building solutions and the related vision of the world;
2) the possibility of "reading" of such works, and communication conditions to which they are subject, guarantees preservation of communication, so that it does not turn into chaos, strained relationship between an array of information, deliberately entrusted to the recipient, and a guaranteed minimum of understanding, agreement between the will of the artist and the audience response.
We see that both problems do not affect the aesthetic value of the product under discussion, his "beauty". In the first case it is assumed that the works of art (to the most saturated to show an implicit perception of the world and to communicate with all the modern state of culture), at least in part, satisfy the necessary conditions for the particular communicative discourse, which is usually defined as "aesthetic". In the second case study elementary communicative conditions under which you can later identify more meaningful and deeper level of relationship, which is characterized by an organic fusion of diverse elements, implying an aesthetic value. Thus, discussion of the aesthetic possibilities of informal lead in the third phase of our conversation, to which the time has come.
ARTWORK as an epistemological metaphor
At first glance Informal uniquely associated with the most important features of public works. Focuses on those structures that appear as epistemological metaphors, as structural solutions to common theoretical consciousness (not to any particular theory, and development of cultural beliefs): in formotvorcheskoy activities they are like a reflection of certain developments in modern scientific methodology, confirmed ( in art) the categories of uncertainty, the statistical distribution, which help to interpret natural phenomena. For example, using its own funds, informal question the category of causality, bipolar logic, the uniqueness of the relationship, the principle of excluded middle.
In this case it is not the opening of a philosopher who seeks any price to see some conceptual message, implicit in the configuration of artistic forms. It is an act of self-consciousness of the same artists: vocabulary, which they use in their policy statements, provides cultural influences that define their work. Not just an uncritical use of any scientific category, by which tend to characterize formotvorchesky process is fairly dangerous; transfer of any scientific term in philosophy or critical discourse involves a number of clarifications and restrictions on its value, so as to determine the extent to which its use is metaphorical or suggestive coloration. It's also true that a man who, seeing that in the aesthetics, or anywhere else used such terms as "uncertainty", "statistical distribution", "information", "entropy," etc., begins to resent and fear for the purity of philosophical discourse, we simply forget that the traditional philosophy and aesthetics have always used the term "form", "potency," "embryo" and others, who initially represented nothing more than a physical and cosmological terminology, had been transferred to another area. However, it is also true that precisely because it is too loose terminology mixing traditional philosophy was condemned in terms of more rigorous analytical approaches, and therefore, having learned such lessons, we are finding an artist who uses certain terms of scientific methodology to distinguish their ideas formotvorcheskih do not dare assume that the structure of his art reflects the estimated structure of the real world, but we emphasize that the treatment in the culture of certain concepts in a special way influenced our artist so that his art should be considered (and indeed is considered) as a reaction shaped as structural metaphorization a certain view of things (which, thanks to advances in science familiar to modern man). In this sense, our study would not have the ontological nature of the review, but will be a modest contribution to the history of ideas.
Examples are numerous and could be taken from various exhibition programs or critical statey5. As the most striking, we refer to an article by Georges Mathieu, «D 'Aristotle and I'abstraction lyrique» 6, where the artist seeks to depict the gradual transition from ideal to real, from real to abstract and then from the abstract to the possible. Before us is the story of the poetics of informal and lyrical abstraction, as well as those new forms, which opened the van before they digested everyday consciousness. Mathieu believes that the development of forms is parallel to the development of scientific concepts:
"If we are witnessing the collapse of classical values in art, we must admit that as a decisive revolution is in the sphere of science, where the recent surrender of the concepts of space, matter, parity, gravity, and the emergence of concepts of indeterminism and probability, contradictions and entropy everywhere cry out for revival of mysticism and transcendence of the new opportunities. "
We agree that the methodological concept, such as indeterminism does not imply no mysticism, but simply makes it necessary precautions to describe some of the phenomena of the microworld, as well as agree with the fact that, in philosophical terms can not be too loose to use this concept, but if artist (in this case, Mathieu) perceives it as such, if this concept stimulates the imagination, we can not deny him this. On the contrary, we should find out whether to keep (all the way from the appearance of the stimulus to the specific structure of signs on the art canvas) is a certain analogy between the vision of the world, which is expected this methodological concept, the picture revealed by new artistic forms. We have already said that the poetics of the Baroque, in essence, reacting to a new vision of the cosmos, approved kopernikovoy revolution and almost pictorial terms suggested by Kepler discovered that planetary orbits are elliptical in shape, is the discovery throws into crisis the exclusive representation of the circle as classic symbol of cosmic perfection. And just as the baroque building of its abundance of angles vividly responsive to the idea of the universe, which is heading to infinity (a view that is no longer geocentric, and therefore anthropocentric), today (as it does the same Mathieu in his article) is theoretically possible to establish parallels between the emergence of new non-Euclidean geometries and the abolition of the classic geometric shapes in Fauvism and Cubism, between the emergence of mathematics imaginary and transfinite numbers and set theory and the advent of abstract painting, between the attempts of the axiomatization of geometry and Hilbert's first steps neoplastitsizma and constructivism.
"Finally, game theory von Neumann and Morgenstern, one of the most important scientific events of our century, has been particularly fruitful in its correlation with contemporary art showed how skillfully Tony del Renzo about action painting. In the general area where now there is a move from possible to probable, in this new adventure of indeterminism, which governs the laws of inanimate, animate or psychic matter, the challenges that three centuries ago, the researchers set, starting with the Cavalier de Mera and ending with Pascal are surpassed as far transcended the notion hasard-objectif Dali and Duchamp's meta-irony. New connection with the case of an accident, the introduction of positive or negative antisluchaya once again confirm the gap of our civilization with Cartesian rationalism. "
Let the indulgent reader will pass over in silence risky scientific statement quoted the artist, as well as his metaphysical conviction that indeterminism is the basis of the laws of inanimate, living and mental matter. However, one can expect that the science is always administered with caution clearly defined concepts that are important in only one area, and that the entire culture of a certain period, capturing their revolutionary meaning, did not want to take them with wild towering force inherent feelings and imagination. It is clear that the principle of indeterminism and quantum methodology tell us nothing about the structure of the world, but only about a specific method for describing certain aspects of it, but instead they tell us that some values are considered absolute, had significance as a metaphysical framework of the world (remember the principle of causality and the law of excluded middle) have the same notional value, which are new and methodological principles, and in any case are no longer necessary to explain the world or to assert another. Hence we see that there is an art form rather than a strict approval equivalents of new concepts, as the negation of the old concepts. At the same time there is a tendency, given the new methodological position relative to the likely structure of things, to draw the alleged image of this new world, an image that perception has not yet mastered, as it always lags behind the mind, and that is why today we are still in the old saying that "the sun rises, although the three and a half centuries of teaching in school that it is not moving.
Hence, the function of art as an open epistemological metaphors: in a world where the continuity of events calls into question the existence of a single and complete image, it suggests how one should see everything in which we live, and seeing to take it and incorporate in their perception. Open the product entirely given the task to give us an image of continuity: it does not tell about it, and it is. Fulfilling a mediating role between the abstract category of scientific methodology and living matter of our perception, it appears almost as a kind of transcendental scheme, allowing to grasp new aspects of the world.
In this way, and should be considered the emotional responses of the critics on informal work, they almost feel the delight of a new, unprecedented freedom, which is filled with imagination in the face of such an open and controversial field of incentives.
"Dubuffet is related to the original type of reality and" mana ", the magical currents which link man with the surrounding objects. However, his art is much more complicated every primitive art. I have already hinted at his typical abundance of ambiguities and areas of values. Many of them are the result of a complex spatial organization of the canvas, a conscious blending of colors, the artist's habits of seeing and portraying things at once from different angles ... This is a fairly complicated optical experience, because not only is our point of view never ceases to change and it is not only that we are faced with a large number optical impasses, different perspectives which resemble a road that ends in the middle of the plains or on the edge of a rocky ridge, but that in addition we are constantly caught the picture itself, completely flat surface on which no no traces of traditional techniques. However, this complex seems perfectly normal: this is the landscape during the outing, when we climb the hills or go winding roads. The desire to see things turn or consistently moves at different points in space clearly points to the relativity of time, or both occurring in it "7.
"Fotre draws a box as if we still had no clue about it, and before us is not so much the subject of much dispute between dreaming and waking, as if we feel after heading to the box, entering an area of uncertainty, where contact is possible and a real artist ... certainly feels that everything could evolve differently .... "
"We Fotre stuff ... not easier, but is constantly evolving and complicated, grasping and assimilating the possible values, incorporating different aspects or moments of reality, feasting upon the lived experience ...."
"In its own way quite appropriate are those attributes that should be noted in the pictures [Dubuffet]: firstly, the attributes of infinity, not-clear, non-distinguishability (taken in its etymological sense). Watch according to optics [the material] is to see how broken contours familiar concepts, dissolve and fade characteristics of things and people, and if still corpuscles, lines, shapes, defined by some formal definition and visually recognizable, such optics still makes immerse them in a crisis, the subject of inflation, multiplying and mixing in the dance of the projections and split. "
So, "the reader" encouraging freedom of work, its infinite capacity to increase, the richness of its internal connections, exciting unconscious projections, the appeal is not subject to causal relationships and avoid the temptations of unique, engaging in a transaction, rich discoveries, all the more unpredictable.
Perhaps all these "reads" the most meaningful, and give the alarm is "reading" Audiberti, which tells us what he sees in the painting Camille Briand: "Finally, [it] as much of the abstract, how many and fine. A thin layer of semolina on the hips ibises, and even plumbers, contains, as an album, like a freak in the family, all sorts of postcards, Invalides, the Grand Hotel New Grand in Yokohama. Refraction of the atmosphere reflects the tissue minerals well composed mirages. Horde submedulyarnyh staphylococci arranged to outline the silhouette of the Chamber of Commerce in Mentone [...]. I think that the infinity in the painting Briana is more significant than if he limited himself to illustrate the conventional connection with the usual fixed-painting that was before and what will happen next. I repeat, it seems to me essential that, in my opinion, it is truly moving. It moves at every call of the space, as in the past and the future. She is immersed in a poisonous vegetation or the bottom, on the contrary, leaving the abyss of dental caries stubs of candles, ascends to blink our eyes or a handful, caught up in our hand. Molecule, its generators, the chemical substance and picturesque at the same time the energy and vision were dismayed souporyadochivayutsya a horizontal directional shower look. Here we are dealing with the phenomenon of a permanent building or permanent revelation. "Handwriting, Painting Briana does not fix as everything else, everything in this world, a permanent joint stock orders, the cuticle of spiders, screaming Cobalt forests, no ... Already being completed, invoiced and signed, and embedded in social and commercial context, it waiting for attention or contemplation of who looks at her, and from whom she makes a clairvoyant, shape and neformy offered its first approach, modified in the space in front of a cloth or sheet, as well as the soul of the seer, just before her! They are like little by little, shining suits your nest, give birth and re-framing the contours, each of which becomes significant in turn. Transparent layers are superimposed on the main image. Speaking the language of conventional wisdom, at art shows cybernetics. We finally see a piece of art that raschelovechivaetsya is exempt from the signature of human, begins to live an independent life, as the same computers, which will be made game of measurements, one has only to connect them properly. "
In this "record" at the same time reflects the limits and possibilities of public works. Even if half of the above reactions have nothing to do with aesthetic experience and is nothing but personal fantasies, inspired by signs pinned down, you still have to remember about this: is this the limit of our "reader", much more concerned free play of his own imagination, or limit of the product, in this case, taking on the role that in other situations, can perform the mescaline? However, without going into these limiting problems, we are focused on the most exalted possibilities of free inquiry, inexhaustible disclosure of contrasts and oppositions, in excess of appearing at every turn, to such an extent that when the "reader" is spiraling out of control works , at some point, it seems that it is itself pulled out from under the control of someone else, including the author, and starts talking sponte sua, a distraught electronic brain. Now it does not leave any field of possibilities, only one remains indiscernible, original, native uncertain, everything and anything.
.......
Whatever it was, in any event, the art of trying to give form to what may seem like a mess formlessness, decay, lack of any connection, again, is an exercise of reason seeking to reduce all things to the discursive clarity, and when his discourse seems dark, it is because the things themselves and our relationship to him are still very dark, thus, it would be too risky to try to identify them with immaculate heights of eloquence: it would turn into an attempt to escape from reality, to leave it for what it is. But it will not last, the ultimate symbol of alienation?
