The Pensive Image: Art As A Form Of Thinking
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Grootenboer Considers Painting As A Form Of Thinking In Itself, Rather Than A Subject Of Philosophical And Interpretive Thought.While The Philosophical Dimension Of Painting Has Long Been Discussed, A Clear Case For Painting As A Form Of Visual Thinking Has Yet To Be Made. Traditionally, Vanitas Still Life Paintings Are Considered To Raise Ontological Issues While Landscapes Direct The Mind Toward Introspection. Grootenboer Moves Beyond These Considerations To Focus On What Remains Unspoken In Painting, The Implicit And Inexpressible That Manifests In A Quality She Calls Pensiveness. Different From Selfaware Or Actively Desiring Images, Pensive Images Are Speculative, Pointing Beyond Interpretation. An Alternative Pictorial Category, Pensive Images Stir Us Away From Interpretation And Toward A State Of Suspension Where Thinking Through And With The Image Can Start.In Fluid Prose, Grootenboer Explores Various Modalities Of Visual Thinking As The Location Where Thought Should Be Found, As A Refuge Enabling Reflection, And As An Encounter That Provokes Thought. Through These Considerations, She Demonstrates That Artworks Serve As Models For Thought As Much As They Act As Instruments Through Which Thinking Can Take Place. Starting From The Premise That Painting Is Itself A Type Of Thinking, The Pensive Image Argues That Art Is Capable Of Forming Thoughts And Shaping Concepts In Visual Terms.
