Abstract
‘A hollow of silence... that is art’. The present article takes this quotation by Ramón Gaya as a guiding thread to go over his texts and to summarize the essentials of his art experience or, as he used to put it, his belief in art. This belief inundates not only his facet as beholder but also his as author. Tending to create an unusual listening atmosphere between writer and reader, his writing is analysed and compared with the ‘analytical listening’. Finally, it is outlined what it would constitute the itinerary on the construction of Gaya´s thoughts about art. Beyond being an “art theory’, it is about a quête aimed to transform one´s own subjectivity.Downloads
