Speed is not without its charms, but it\u2019ll put you in a fluster if caught unawares. I remember how, as a little boy, one used to be told that books for grown-ups<\/em> have no pictures in them<\/em>. Nothing but text, as dry as it sounds. However, with the passing of years, it turns out there are more and more pictures everywhere. Important, definitive, history-making, all of them. One feels like in one of those souks straight out of Tintin<\/em> where before you even had a chance to check out anything, someone else will be trying to divert your attention into something else.<\/p>\n

During February, we\u2019ve wanted to think from images, to look at them for longer than we usually do. And then comment on them, gloss over them, because a long spiel is worth a thousand photographs. To that end, I thought about calling in a few artists, alongside the expected and ubiquitous art theorists (we make quite a crowd, and we reproduce by spores). In particular, I was interested in the opinion of painters, who have spent all their lives working with pictures, outmoded as that is (people who adjust and compose; a strange lot, no doubt). We could have dealt with other subjects, but those impressions (the printing press<\/a>, the Pope on live stream<\/a>, the uprisings<\/a>, and the pr\u00eat-\u00e0-porter <\/em>hospital)<\/a> helped us identify four key points to guide our discussion. Powerful pictures which, in the lightness of our times, leave us with the same haste with which they came.<\/p>\n

In the frenzied flow of absolutely relevant events which take place one after the other, some of those motifs \u2013 which we began to consider months ago \u2013 are now back to the headlines (one of them will be relevant every time a police officer cracks a protester\u2019s skull, so I\u2019m afraid it will pay off itself). Some others resurfaced from newspaper archives, like the Ghost of Christmas Past. With the Ifema hospital, we\u2019re bringing February \u2013 the so-called \u201cart month\u201d \u2013 to a close. Isn\u2019t that some coincidence?<\/p>\n
