Pan Art Teacher. Georges Didi-Huberman's Idea of Seeing
The essay by Pawel Mokicki "Pan Art Teacher. Georges Didi-Huberman's Idea of Seeing" invites a reader to rethink the role of history of art, traditionally seen as science which armed with theories and definitions, describes and stores works of art. George Didi-Huberman critically re-reads assumptions of history of art; his idea of seeing challenges an attempt to enclose the study of painting in a network of conceptual schemes and proposes, instead, such a reception of art which rejects the primacy of thinking over seeing in favour of the quest for the "flash of matter" — a moment when a piece (Fr. pan) speaks the unspeakable and makes a painting "work." Didi-Huberman articulates the need to establish a new discipline which would welcome an unsolvable dilemma of seeing and turn it into its own point of departure.
