A arte sempre se interessou pela realidade, mas limitou-se a imitá-la (arte clássica), a questioná-la (arte moderna) ou a transformá-la (arte engajada), entre outras perspectivas. Em todos os casos, era como se o real estivesse do outro lado da arte, aspecto inquestionavel, a espera da representaço. Este livro contraria essa premissa ao explorar a arte como um jogo de expresses possiveis, que desnuda perspectivas, interpretaçes, projeçes hermeneuticas. Marcos Beccari convida a compreenso dos olhares sobre o real, com uma proposta sobre sua natureza instavel, instantaneo, insignificante e suas relaçes com a arte na pratica das (in)compreenses possiveis. Quem busca mera digresso poetica, encontrara uma ensaistica erudita e sofisticada; quem espera uma escrita academica e impessoal, se surpreendera com o vigoroso testemunho da pratica artistica.
