Het “zien” als basis voor het wezen van het fenomeen van het dubbelkunstenaarschap. Filosofen over “zien” in taal en andere kunsten

Anotace: The common multi-disciplinary approach to artists in Dutch literature makes it worth investigating the relationship between visual art and literature, these being two different disciplines. The position of the author or the characters between the two disciplines is difficult to determine, because each discipline has its own characteristics. To understand the phenomenon of a multi-disciplinary artist, I attempt, on the basis of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Martin Heidegger and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, to understand the relationship between the visual arts and literature, analyzing the two disciplines in relationship to each other. According to Maurice Merleau-Ponty, ‘Seeing’ is a phenomenon which the disciplines have in common. In the following analysis, Merleau-Ponty's concept of ‘Seeing’ is confronted with an attempt to determine whether it is usable in relationship to multi-disciplinary artists.
