Through the work of Picasso, the author investigates the forces that allow painting to resist verbalized meaning and assert its power in the tragic, the plastic, and the pathic. A book for those seeking to understand art from its most indomitable essence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book starts from a central question: what does painting know that cannot be said in words? To answer it, the author uses Picasso's work as a guiding thread. It analyzes how Picasso's paintings do not lend themselves to being translated into a logical or narrative discourse, but rather assert their knowledge in the very resistance to verbalization. The text explores three fundamental forces: pathic forces (linked to emotion and affection), tragic forces (linked to conflict and contradiction), and plastic forces (inherent to materiality and form). In this way, a theory of art is constructed that vindicates the autonomy of pictorial language against the dominance of verbalized meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAutonomy of pictorial language versus verbal discourse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of pathic, tragic, and plastic forces in Picasso's work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe resistance of painting to being reduced to meaning or narrative.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe will to power of the artistic image as non-transferable knowledge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between pictorial creation and philosophy of art.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and professionals of art, philosophy, and aesthetics, as well as visual artists interested in the theory of painting.
