Za obrazem: teorie obrazu Romana Ingardena a význam abstraktního umění

Abstract

The study interprets the meaning of abstract art, taking into consideration the phenomenological investigations of the Polish philosopher Roman Ingarden. In 1958, Ingarden drew attention to a specific method of the constitution of a non-representational, “abstract” image. In the framework of his theory, he focused on the necessity of the viewer turning away from the image while at the same time he defined the abstract image closely to that of decoration, which can be the cause of the image’s demise in the sense of a newly forming reality. Considering the works of art created at the time when Ingarden wrote his study, his concept can be elaborated and the meaning of the abstract image can be presented as leading the viewer beyond the image. The goal of this approach is the constitution of a consciousness of the image in the sense of a new perception of the present reality.
