Self-generating Sense in Art

Summary/Abstract: The ultimate purpose of the research is to elaborate the philosophical problem of the artist’s experience and his way of understanding. However it is fi rst of all a historical summary of the concepts which have emerged encountering this question. First, Kant’s Critique of judgment and the concept of the genius, which by defi nition is a state derived from the goodwill of nature. Nietzsche’s idea of the work of a genius arises from the instinctive pulsation of his affl uence. By giving the power of artistic creation in the hand of nature, these two authors demonstrate that the work of an artist cannot be understood only deducing it loosely from the „I”. Edmund Husserl’s notion of reduction sets the perception free from the notions which enslave it. Conclusively the paper presents some of Paul Cézanne’s concepts as counterpoint to the philosophical theories, and the need for a more loose theory of sense. Eventually I dwell on The visible and the invisible written by Maurice Merleau-Ponty, the French philosopher who argues for the self-generating sense, which creates the basis of the artistic creation.
