Abstract (en)

Discusses the coercion of meaning fixing in and behind teaching in art schools since the 1940s. Argues that three propositions--humanism, empiricism and idealism--constitute a practice of reading which assumes both the concept of the centered subject and the theory of expressive realism. States that, in the narrower context of the art schools, this practice takes the form of the theory that art reflects the reality of experience as it is perceived by one individual, who expresses it in a discourse (visual language) which enables other individuals to recognize it as profound because true. Utilizes the theories of Jacques Lacan, Michel Foucault and Paul de Man.
