I argue that a fruitful approach to exploring the significance of the abstract expressionist Barnett Newman’s body of work, understood as as an attempt to “paint the sublime,” is by appeal to Peircian phenomenology and the conception of “originativity” that it entails. By attending, in particular, to Peirce’s conception of “the firstness of thirdness,” I show how this “reasonable feeling” both signifies our “affinity” with the world with which we transact and, with specific respect to what happens when looking at Newman’s paintings, explains why we are spurred to reflect upon the meaning of these experiences. In this way, “the firstness of thirdness” accounts for our recognition of a form of reasonableness that exceeds that exhibited in ordinary conceptualization.

什么是美国崇高?Peircian现象学与Barnett Newman绘画的反思

我认为,探索抽象表现主义作家巴内特·纽曼的作品的重要性的一种富有成果的方法,被认为是“描绘崇高”的尝试,是通过呼吁皮尔士现象学及其所包含的“原创性”概念来实现的。通过特别关注皮尔斯的“第三性的第一性”概念,我展示了这种“合理的感觉”既象征着我们与我们交易的世界的“亲和力”,又特别关注了看纽曼的世界时发生的事情。绘画,解释了为什么我们被激发去反思这些经历的意义。这样,“第三性的第一性”说明了我们对一种合理性形式的认可,这种形式性超出了普通概念化所表现出的合理性形式。
