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\u003eThese 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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leuven University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061157478640,"sku":"9789058677921","price":89.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789058677921_p0.jpg?v=1763670771","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789058677921","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
