ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the metamorphoses and transformations are nested in the seams and cracks of orders that are 'given', but could also be different. It focuses especially on metamorphoses of experience in the picture, but in the background of this pictorial reformation the interplay of all senses and arts comes into view. The one-sided aestheticization of art starts when pathos disappears behind the eidos, the pictorial impulse behind the pictorial form. Artistic pictures, like all other images, are products, and the making of pictures is an art of a special kind. The establishment of the autonomy of art is an act of liberation similar to the invention of modern physics and the development of modern law. The picture as a specific pictorial thing – and that there is someone who produces pictures, and others who imagine pictures, that is, the picture maker, the picture viewer, and in addition the picture interpreter in case the sense of a picture is enigmatic.
