Sur la dimension de la perte dans l’œuvre d’Arnulf Rainer
On the dimension of loss in the work of Arnulf Rainer

An archive of spirituality between iconoclasm and melancholy.

Summary/Abstract: Arnulf Rainer paints on the photograph of a face with an iconoclastic violence betraying a guilty desire for the Image. In its spiritual connotation, the revamped portrait acts as transfiguration, where the melancholy of the inner experience makes it sensitive to the idea of a gaping loss.
