Words, Objects and Images: between Philosophy and Art

Words, Objects and Images: between Philosophy and Art

His groundbreaking work was not engaged with cultural salvation, but with cultural desecration; rather than setting out to be an artistic giant, he sought instead to be an artistic blasphemer; he did seek to establish an artistic philosophy, but rather to discard artistic philosophy; he did not want his works to win a place forever in art history, but wanted them to pass rapidly into oblivion. He chose blasphemy as the means of attaining a sense of mystery, and adopted destructive and nihilistic posturing to deride the image of the hero. (HUANG Yongping: The Opening Gambitsby WANG Min’an)
