SUMMARY:“El Greco's Synagonism: Art Theory and Practice“
DESCRIPTION:Apparently\, as suggested in the account of Francisco Pacheco\, or in his own notes on Vitruvius and Vasari\, Domenikos Theotokopoulos took a clear position in the paragone debate. But this position becomes more complex\, even contradictory if one takes a look at El Greco´s own artistic production. The medium in question is often situated from the vantage point of the other (for instance sculpture from painting or painting from sculpture)\, thus high-lighting issues of two dimensionality and three dimensionality. Through a veritable synagonism\, meaning a productive “agon” of the media\, they mutually enhance each other. This fruitful dialectic also clarifies El Greco´s theory and practice. In my talk I will look at concrete examples from his oeuvre including drawing\, painting\, and sculpture as well as his retablos\, his works as an architect. They may lead to a re-reading of his comments on art theory reframing the problem of paragone.
