| Summary: | Art, in its various fields, developes discourses that nothing have to do with others coming from different realms. It uses various combinations of elements, usually provided by conventional languages, in order to create a new and unique speech, where an idea finally finds its own form. At that precise spot, content and structure become an unique and inseparable one. This paper deals with classical art paradigms and reflects on them, particularly from the Visual Arts point of view. It begins by thinking about many centuries mainstream art forms as reality representation or imitation, not only as a vehicle for expression but as an actual purpose of art itself. It follows with the proposal of Dada transgression to those art forms looking for emotional commotion so that a creation reaches the intimate territories of the receiver´s mind. It finally explains how Marcel Duchamp pointed art discourse itself as the one made to give a new thinking to the world. |
