The Unexpressible and the Avant-garde

art
The large, color-intensive yet abstract paintings by Barnett Newman or, more generally, avant-garde art pieces explore concepts that are not immediately tangible or material. These works act as signs or symbols, pointing to something that transcends our sensual world and initiating a feat of imagination. A philosophical inquiry examines this phenomenon: how is this surplus embedded in the artwork? How can it be understood? And why do these enigmatic works evoke similar experiences among many viewers? The lecture highlights these mysterious layers of abstract art and the potential of our subconscious, drawing inspiration from the thoughts of philosopher Jean-François Lyotard.
