In this book, Gino Zaccaria offers a philosophical meditation on the issue of art in light of its originary sense. He shows how this sense can be fully understood provided that our thinking, on the one hand, returns to the ancient Greek world where it must heed the voice and hints of the goddess Athena, and, on the other hand, listens to artist-thinkers close to our current epoch, such as Czanne, van Gogh and Boccioni. Indeed, the path of this meditation has as its guide the well-known sentence by the painter from Aix-en-Provence, which reads: Je vous dois la verite en peinture, et je vous la dirai !. What will finally appear in this way will not be an abstract or historical notion of art, but its enigma; that is to say, the promise of another initiation of art itself.
