#sarraute

always fascinating how philosophers and writers mention artists when talking about reality. bergson's mention of matisse's understanding of art lives in my mind rent free and it DEFINITELY influenced my understanding of sarraute (and she mentions klee's understanding of reality!). and I LOVE that sarraute (and other writers it's not just her I'm just in a sarraute mood rn) has a bergsonian take on writing like. writing IS art in the sense that it helps REVEAL something of reality through the senses that you have but don't use for their aesthetic purposes. that you don't use without an intent exterior to them. that you mainly use FOR something else, language as a sixth sense with a praxis which concerns survival too... except it's even stronger than one artform because writing encompasses thought: words help organize our thoughts and then writing rearranges them and create mimesis in a way that other artforms don't
