>A painting is not a singularity - but an overlay of differing systems and concerns ... the painting is only reducible to itself - because that is where all the parts are assembled" (Saul)
No argument from any of us about that. But you did begin your essay on Manet by unequivocally placing one concern above another: "Manet's last painting 'Bar at the Folies Berghres', which seems at first sight to be a reflective study of an observer of the main action, turns out to be a paean to visual space." Perhaps it was written too quickly. ____________________________________________________________ Weight Loss Program Best Weight Loss Program - Click Here! http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2231/c?cp=DQbs_h3ReVE55uk28-hxkAAAJz6c l_zTaptgNR5c8Mer1v9kAAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEUgAAAAA=
