About the Book

Seven writings assembled in the context of the philosophy of art that Jean-Francois Lyotard developed in the 1980s, at the time of the Differend (1983) and of the "Kantian turn" leading to the Lessons on the Analytic of the Sublime (1992), are here published for the first time in English translation. The texts focus on three artists with widely divergent aesthetic orientations: the colorist-draftsman Valerio Adami, the conceptual metaphysician Shusaku Arakawa, and Daniel Buren, the "pragmatist of the invisible." These three protagonists share the notion that the interest in art does not lie in the simple denotation of a frame of reference, but in the connotations of material nuances, in flavors, in tones-in one word, the visual, that is barely revealed in the anamnesis that guides the visible and provokes the essential inquietude of the aesthetic experience. What to Paint? Not reality or a "world," nor a rich subjectivity, nor even the phantasms of dreams or ideals of being-together, but the act of painting itself, and, beyond the performance of the painter, the presence of matters, a presence that in Arakawa's word is quite obviously blank, elusive.

About the Author :
The philosopher and literary theorist Jean-Francois Lyotard (1924-1998) was Woodruff Professor of Philosophy and French at Emory University. Herman Parret is Professor Emeritus of Aesthetics and Philosophy of Language at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Leuven.

Review :

La réédition des écrits de Jean-François Lyotard, dont cet ouvrage-ci constitue le cinquième volet, est une bonne entrée en matière pour comprendre la critique philosophique de l'art de cet auteur. La série de textes bilingues consacrés à Valerio Adami, Shusaku Arakawa et Daniel Buren, introduite par une longue préface d'Herman Parret, permet d'envisager cette méthode inspirée de l'expérience phénoménologique contraire à l'approche formaliste de l'art. Jean-François Lyotard impose donc un vocabulaire prédéterminé qu'il développe au contact des échanges avec les artistes.
