En chemin vers le rien

"What may be of sharpest critical interest regarding the legacy of the genre of landscape, both for the continuing practice of painting and in the continuing practice of painting, lies not in the intentional form of picturing by which it has been defined. It lies rather in the precedents that the genre provides for a continued engagement, in the context of the visible, with that which is contingently excluded from the possibility of being seen and represented."
Charles Harrison, 1994 (op. cit. M. von Hafe Pérez, "Perpetual Transparency", Francisco Laranjo Perpetual Transparency, 2023)
