The purpose of this paper is to consider why Paul Gauguin frequently used equestrian motif from 1898 and what its symbolic meanings are, and to show a visual source of the back-rounded equestrian in three important paintings, <<The White Horse>>, <<FAA Iheihe>>, and <<Rupe Rupe>>. One reason is that for Gauguin of 1898-99 the motif implied his happy childhood in Peru and symbolized the primitive state of himself. The idea probably developed from conclusion of a book titled A Book of the Beginnings, vol. 1, by Gerald Massey. Among his memories in childhood, riding a wooden horse particularly must have provided him an important inspiration. This can be inferred from the following passage from Diverse choses, "As for myself, my art goes way back, further [back] than the horses of Parthenon all the way to the dear old wooden horse of my childhood". The other reason is that travel journals by Edouard Petit and Eugene Girardin probably led to romantic primitivism for horse-riding in the South Seas to some of the French colonists in Polynesia, including Gauguin, in the late 19th century. As to a visual source of the equestrian, it may be derived from Delacroix's lithogragh, <<Negre a cheval>> (1823).

Takeuchi Seiho was a contemporary sketch artist as declared by his motto, "Shasei and Shohitu" Shohitu were a major feature of his sketches, and he insisted upon their use. This style came from the traditions he inherited through his studies. Seiho found employment drawing Yuzen-shitae at Takashimaya, where he met Kishi Chikudo. Chikudo actually sketched drawings such as tigers from real life, rather than imagination. This must have strongly influenced Seiho at the time since Chikudo, his senior, advised him on his art. By Chikudo' adovises, Seihou rediscovered realistic presentation in the tradition of Kyoto-school. During the Paris International Exposition in 1900, the 33rd year of Meiji, Seiho learned how to draw animals from real life in Europe. Afterwards, he returned to Japan, having sketched a lion in this fashion. The following year, his work, Shishi (Lion,) displayed the establishment of Seiho's contemporary sketch technique. Thanks to the encounter with Chikudo at Takashimaya, Seiho seemed to establish his own style of sketching.

The date of "completion" of the original maquettes of Jazz has been considered to be 1944, mainly due to three letters of Matisse, in spite of the date, juillet 1946, written in the maquettes. What is the meaning of this delay? The connection between Matisse and Surrealisme contributed in establishing the artistic environment around him from the 1930's. It changed Matisse's artistic view from static to dynamic, especially the concept of signe. Furthermore, the method of paper cut-out accelerated this tendency. Matisse's interest in Bergson in Jazz explains the dynamic character. In 1942, Matisse finished Themes et variation. The central idea is a series along the same theme, with the same model. The connection between the drawings gives the figure a Bergsonian duree. In Jazz Matisse created signes from his memories. He used his intuition to be united with the objects, and realized the inherent duree, which was built right into the process of this work. This is the reason for the delay in working on the maquettes. The duree produced by this delay is the indispensable character in the completion of Jazz founded on the correlation between the maquettes and the texts.

1921 schuf Paul Klee zwei Schriftbilder mit Vers 2-3 aus dem 1. Kapitel des Hohen Liedes, wobei er eine Nachdichtung seines Vaters Hans benutzte. Die Komposition und die bildnerischen Elemente der Schriftbilder werden unter Berucksichtigung der Werke Hans Klees und auf sie bezogener Materialien analysiert, die bisher nicht ausfuhrlich behandelt wurden. Mit seinem Vater teilte Klee bis zu einem gewissen Grad die Beschaftigung mit Asien und dem Orient sowie mit Literatur und Musik, die wesentlich zur Konzeption der Schriftbilder beitrug. Im ersten Schriftbild wird die Lautfolge des Textes sichtbar, indem Klee bestimmte Farben auf bestimmte Vokale bezieht. Damit wurde es zu einem Ausgangspunkt abstrakter Werke, denen eine musikalische Theorie zugrunde liegt. Das zweite Schriftbild weist starker illustrative Zuge auf und interpretiert zugleich den Inhalt des Gedichts ausgehend von einer modernen Deutung des Hohen Liedes als Liebesdichtung. So reflektiert es eine damalige Theorie Klees, namlich das dynamische Gleichgewicht des Dualismus von Mann und Frau. In beiden Schriftbildern schlagen sich erfolgreich das kunstlerische Denken des Malers und die mit ihm verbundenen Experimente um 1920 nieder.

Oxymoron (contradictory expression) is an important rhetorical expression for Augustine. He uses it to express God in the Confessions ; "You(God) are deeply hidden yet most intimately present." After that, he says " in these words what have I said ?" These lines are peculiar speculation form which talks about God in oxymoron and his reflections on such ambivalence in language. He also uses oxymoron to express that the human being's state in front of God is essentially ambivalent, saying "(God) whom I should attach myself, but was not yet in a state to be able to do that." Thus, oxymoron is the most appropriate way of speaking about God and the speaker himself. Moreover, when he talks about the beauty of God and of this world by the beauty of God, oxymoron brings its ability into full play to explain both, because the crucial ambivalence is in beautiful things as creatura bona, which has the nature of being totally beautiful and totally ugly. Also the same is the aesthetic experience, which is both intellectual and sensitive. These are evidently based on his vertical passionate love for God as beauty itself and also on his horizontal moderate love for creatura. In this, we find the aesthetics of the ambivalence founded on oxymoron.

Il pensiero di Antonio Gramsci e considerate alia stregua di quello politico. Tuttavia in base al contesto della storia moderna italiana, insieme alle voci dei critici del tempo, esso si ripercosse anche sui vari aspetti dell'arte e della cultura. Il testo gramsciano fu falsificato da P. Togliatti all'indomani della Seconda Guerra Mondiale. In virtu di cio, si diffuse la convinzione che il pensiero di Gramsci e la metodologia che potesse condurre l'Italia alia "via della rinascita". Cio nonostante questo orientamento si estese all'arte, generando un termine quale "neorealismo", cioe una catena di rappresentazioni realistiche. Gramsci divenne un "combattente" contro il fascismo e il suo pensiero altero l'estetica della organizzazione "immediata" e "semplicistica" del pathos artistico. Il programma del pensiero gramsciano fu quello di organizzare l'Italia a unica "nazione", sebbene la caratteristica di pensiero sull'arte differiva da quella che i critici della dopoguerra immaginavano e da quella che altre correnti antifasciste avevano proposto nello stesso periodo. I brani sulla critica dell'estetica di B.Croce e sull'architettura razionale nei "Quaderni del carcere" indicano che Gramsci provo a organizzare strategicamente l'arte quale campo culturale, osservando le condizioni politiche e sociali sotto il regime. Dal punto di vista storico, la sua riflessione sul concetto "intellettuale" fu alia base di una visione estetica "mediata" e "complessiva" abbastanza incisiva da riscuotere una vasta eco sull'arte e sulla cultura italiana non solo nel dopoguerra, ma persino prima il conflitto bellico.

Dans la Phenomenologie de la perception, Merleau-Ponty dit que seul le langage se sedimente et que dans la peinture, il ne trouve pas d'element commun correspondant aux mots dans le langage. Cela revient a dire que la reciprocite entre l'expression du present et celle du passe possible dans le langage n'existe pas dans la peinture. Cependant, dans La prose du moude et "Le langage indirect et la voix du silence", il tire des oeuvres de Malraux la notion de style commun entre diverses peintures. De la, il en conclut la relation mutuelle entre les peintures. Les peintures du passe ouvrent une dimension et celles du present reprennent le style apparu dans les precedentes. Il y a, selon Merleau-Ponty, <<1'histricite de vie>> qui existe dans l'acte meme de peindre. En outre, la peinture vient occuper une place importante dans sa pensee car, tandis qu'a l'epoque de la Phenomenologie de la Perception, il n'avait pas suffisamment traite la relation entre la perception et l'histoire, mais apres, grace a la corporeite du peintre, pour Merleau-Ponty, la peinture est devenue un domaine privilegie pour traiter de 1'histoire qui s'enracine dans la perception.
