In the spring of 1981, he began a series of eight seminars on painting and its intersections with philosophy. The recorded sessions, newly transcribed and translated into English, are now available in their entirety for the first time. Extensively annotated by philosopher David Lapoujade, \u003ci\u003eOn Painting\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates Deleuze’s thinking on artistic creation, significantly extending the lines of thought in his book \u003ci\u003eFrancis Bacon\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Through paintings and writing by Rembrandt, Delacroix, Turner, CÉzanne, Van Gogh, Klee, Pollock, and Bacon, Deleuze explores the creative process, from chaos to the pictorial fact. The introduction and use of color feature prominently as Deleuze elaborates on artistic and philosophical concepts such as the diagram, modulation, code, and the digital and the analogical. Through this scrutiny, he raises a series of profound and stimulating questions for his students: How does a painter ward off grayness and attain color? What is a line without contour? Why paint at all? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Written and thought in a rhizomatic manner that is thoroughly Deleuzian-strange, powerful, and novel-\u003ci\u003eOn Painting\u003c\/i\u003e traverses both the conception of art history and the possibility of color as a philosophical concept. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRetail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly with images accompanied by short alt text and\/or extended descriptions.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e Contents \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Introduction: From the Chair to the Nation \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 1.
