Summary/Abstract: Beyond the Visible or the Abstraction in Art. Visible seems to be fundamental in masterpiece. However phenomenological thinking often considers invisible as being essential. The masterpiece offers the viewer the opportunity to “see” the own view (E. Ecoubas), to live the “feeling of life” (M. Henry) or to “feel” the moment the phenomenon appears (H. Maldiney). Analysis on some of K. Malevitch’s writings reveals the fact that the Russian artist himself conceived art as a way of searching interiority and self-retrieval. The text of the Suprematist manifest of 1915 describes almost in the same terms as those of mystical writings the act of detaching progressively from the real world and keeping only the “sensitivity” perceived as pure living.
