Abstract
Rosales´ painting The Death of Lucretia disturbed Ramón Gaya. His thoughts on that work open up a series of questions about contemporary aesthetic experience that concerns the legend of Lucretia’s suicide as a metaphor of the death of great artists. As in the dramatic case of Rosales, these latter have lost their strength and energy to carry out the daunting task of struggling against limits that, far from expanding, are promptly turned into clichés. The search for a definition of painting with the help of Deleuze puts into question the eviction of painting as an anachronistic practice in the context of a paradigm of the digital domain.Downloads
