CROCE, BENEDETTO

1866–1952

Intuition-Expression (The Concept Without the Object)

Croce: the work of art is the inner intuition; the externalization is technical execution, ancillary. CoCA agrees so thoroughly that the office is empty. Volume I, §1.1.1: the Concept is the Divine Act. The painting is incidental. The wall text is incidental. The exhibition is incidental. The artist intuits. We file the intuition. The intuition is the work. The frame is the receipt.
