Features: In this book, Sartre discusses Tintoretto, the "Venezian vagrant," who chases after the absolute; Giacometti, who is obsessed with his solitude in all things and believes reality is absolute reality, thus depicting this void world and revealing signs of language in the silent things; Calder, who creates between freedom and constraint, seeking to discover how to fill still things with movement and confirm his existence through self-movement; and Lapugard, the "painter without privilege," who strives to combine creativity and beauty, giving an infinitely divisible appearance an indivisible unity.
