Note du spécialiste

“I like the idea of reverse deconstruction, which is construction. The question I am addressing now is, How do you make meaning pictorial? It's no longer about getting direct equivalence between the material and the idea. It's not about capturing the real. It's the transition, what happens between the material and the ideas. What is that interaction? I think it's basically analogy. I'm working with pictorial rhetoric; how we read different kinds of visual order" (Mark Tansey quoted in P. Hoban, "The Wheel Turns: Painting Paintings About Painting," The New York Times, 21 April 1997, p. 35).
