“To produce a perfect pearl the oysters need some piece of matter, a sandcorn or a small splinter round which the pearl can form. Without such a hard core it may grow into a shapeless mass. If the artist’s feelings for forms and colours are to crystallize in a perfect work, he, too, needs such a hard core – a definite task on which he can bring his gifts to bear.”
E. H. Gombrich
All stories begin with 'Once upon a time'.
A Little History of the World
«En efecto, de pronto descubrimos que la hermosura de un cuadro no reside en la belleza de su tema»
Gombrich. La historia del arte.
A la mentalidad primitiva le resulta sin duda muy difícil establecer la diferencia entre representación y símbolo. Warburg llamó Denkraumverlust a esta tendencia de la mente humana a confundir el signo con la cosa significada, el nombre con sus portadores, lo literal con lo metafórico, la imagen con su prototipo. Todos nos sentimos inclinados a "regresar" en un momento dado a etapas más primitivas y experimentar la fusión entre la imagen y su modelo o el nombre y su portador. Nuestro lenguaje, de hecho, favorece la existencia de esa zona crepuscular entre lo literal y lo metafórico.
Ernst Gombrich, ”Icones simbolicae: las filosofías del simbolismo y su relación con el arte”, en Imágenes simbólicas, p. 215 (Alianza Ed.)

Haven't posted in ages! Here I am reading "Story of Art" by Gombrich for A-Level Art. Starting Year 13 this September!
"É infinitamente melhor nada saber sobre arte do que possuir uma espécie de meio conhecimento propício ao esnobismo. [...] Quero ser muito franco a respeito desse perigo [...] pois todos somos suscetíveis de sucumbir a tais tentações, e um livro como este poderá aumentá-las. Eu gostaria de ajudar a abrir olhos, não a soltar línguas.
E. H. Gombrich, A história da arte (Trad. Álvaro Cabral)
