LA BEAUTE NA PAS FINI DE NOUS SURPRENDRE ET ELLE EST TOUJOURS A APPRIVOISER. ELLE S'ABANDONNE PAS A QUI VEUT LA CONQUERIR SANS LUI DEMANDER QUELQUE EFFORT, SANS EXIGER QU' IL LUI OUVRE UN ESPACE, QU' IL ACCEPTE UN DIALOGUE. NOUS VOUDRONS SOUVENT QUE LA BEAUTE DES OEUVRES SOIT AUSSI LIMPIDE, AUSSI SIMPLE ET EVIDENTE QU'UN COUCHER DE SOLEIL, MAIS LE MONDE A PARTIR DUQUEL TRAVAILLENT LES ARTISTES EST AUJOURDHUI INFINIMENT PLUS COMPLEXE QUE LA VISION ROMANTQUE DE LA NATURE QUI SOUS-TEND CETTE IDEE DE PRETENDUE SIMPLICITE.

NIETZSCHE APPELLE LA FLECHE LENTE DE LA BEAUTE. CETTE FLECHE QUI VOUS TRANSPERCE, MAIS NE FAIT PAS SENTIR SUR LE-CHAMP TOUS SES EFFECTS. CETTE FLECHE QUI DIFFUSE PEU A PEU DANS LE CORPS ET L' AME LA MAGIE DE LA BEAUTE, ET
S' ENFONCE IMPERCEPTIBLEMENT EN VOUS , VERS UN LIEUE TOUJOURS PLUS PROFOND.
C' EST BIEN ELLE QU' IL FAUT RECHERCHER AVEC PASSION, SOUS TOUTES SES PARURES-CAR L' UNE DES LECONS D'ART CONTEMPORAIN, C'EST QUE CHAQUE NOUVEAU LANGAGE QUI VIENT AU JOUR N'EFFACE PAS LE PRECEDENT. LAISSEZ VOUS SURPRENDRE PAR LES ARTISTES ET LES AVENTURES DE L' ESPRIT DANS LESQUELLES EUX NOUS EMMENENT !
