THE PATH FROM TEXT TO IMAGE ON DANTE'S TRACES
THE PATH FROM TEXT TO IMAGE ON DANTE'S TRACES

Summary/Abstract: For Teofil Știop, visual artist and art critic, there is no art at random, haphazardly, but art with a concept beyond, a concept that may judge randomization and hazard as included in visions of the world. The palimpsest retrieves and redeems the link between text and image. It bridges art to meta-art, to/through meta-literature. Reading has become an intrinsic part of a contemporary work of art lately. Știop's reading of palimpsests in art and literature, irrespectively meta criticism, combined with the awareness of his own questions as an original artist, attest a more organic search of intuitive forms in an alienated world, pointing the artist as the being who can give back to people a deeper imprint of art.
