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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eWhat to Paint?\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Fran?ois Lyotard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9058677923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789058677921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leuven University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.40w x 1.50d","brand":"Jean-Fran?ois Lyotard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45896984363263,"sku":"9789058677921","price":89.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3a62690-c6ec-495f-9f7f-1195dd1069d2.jpg?v=1721372863","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/que-peindrewhat-to-paint-jean-franois-lyotard-9789058677921","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
