Lot Essay
« Mon intention n’est pas ici de donner de nouvelles lois du Beau, ni de déceler les conditions nouvelles de sa genèse. […] A peine peut-on espérer, dans ce monde, débarrasser quelques êtres de quelques préjugés. Mais il est tout de même grand temps de barrer de mille traits rouges tout ce que l’antiquité grecque a pu nous léguer sur les rapports de l’inspiration et de la poétique. »
“My intention here is not to decree new laws to govern Beauty or to discover the new conditions which engender it. ( … ) In this world, there is little hope of relieving certain beings of certain preconceived ideas. However, it is high time we drew a thick red line through everything which Greek antiquity bequeathed us concerning relations between the inspirational and the poetic”.
Georges Mathieu
