- W116260189 abstract "A work of art is an essay in paradox. An artist reduces reality to illu? sion and seeks the truth through the deliberate cultivation of a lie. The beauty of this lie tempts one to absent oneself from the real world, to cease to use or to utilize life in order to contemplate it in a form whose presence to the mind and the senses is purely fictional. In this essay, I propose to study the kinship of art and paradox in terms of the words and apparition. I take these nouns to be both complemen? tary and contradictory, and I shall define their relationship as follows: es? sence, unseen and immaterial, appears as a purely visual phenomenon, an apparition in whose guise the artist decomposes and revises the external world so that he may present it as something which originates in the mind. The presence thus realized conceals what it reveals. By way of art, essence assumes a sensuous form which would appear antithetical to the unseen but which is, indirectly or analogically, essence itself. As an analogical approach to essence, A la recherche du temps perdu often entails the apparitional decomposition of existent, objective reality. There is thus created an optical illusion which distracts, deceives, and reorients the eye and the mind. The person in whom this distraction is primarily located is the artist's narrator. His ?garement or deviation from the objective is basic to the writer's critique of realism and to his es? thetic education of the reader. Of all the characters who appear in the novel, the narrator is the one in whom artistic creation is the least con? clusive, the least categorical, and the least figurative. All-inclusive, ex? clusive of nothing and no one, he eludes spatiotemporal location and is essentially defined by his tendency to absence in time and space. With no face, no name, no vocation, an uncertain avocation, and a secondary role in the action, he is the character whose life, past and future, is least definitive, most marginal, most useless and precarious. At once central and peripheral, he is educated to survival by the dialectical confrontation of life and art." @default.
