Description

In every work of art there is something already accomplished and something waiting to be accomplished. Artistic beauty lives and draws its strength from the dual nature of being both the thing we see and, within that same thing, the invisible, that which awaits to be seen. In this essay, “pursuit” means persistence and inquiry: the pursuit of putting into words a presence—that of beauty—which always overflows words. It is also the attempt to decipher the contours of the unique face of that duality: the face of beauty.
