Jorge Luis Borges, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Yasushiro Ozu, Mark Rothko, Jorge Oteiza – a writer, an architect, a filmmaker, a painter, a sculptor. Five personalities of the twentieth century separated by their mediums, their subjects of investigation and their disciplines.

They are brought together in this book by the need to save art from its current alteration, and to bring it back to a more contemplative and introspective dimension. It is a form of spiritual revolt that Carlos Martí Arís highlights through this transversal analysis of different artistic expressions that mix and meet to enrich his reflection.

The keywords of this consideration, which has the appearance of a manifesto, are: silence, contemplation, renunciation, transparency, anonymity and atemporality. Twenty years later, the lesson of Carlos Martí Arís is contemporary and of fundamental importance for our discipline today.
