Abstract

The present essay examines the historical and logical conditions of the existence of painting as an expanded field. After developing the concept of pluralism, the expanded field of painting is presented through the use of the Greimas rectangle. This expanded field incorporates the notions of originality / reproducibility, multidimensional related spaces, and history and chronology. The resulting field relates painting to other artistic manifestations previously seen as different or even opposed to it in today's society and makes it possible to re-invest in the medium with the characteristics that it has lost or gave away throughout time. The expanded field also allows to examine transformations and movements in more than one dimension at the same time, changes from one expressive form to another, from one object to another, and still allows for the possible addition of other artistic manifestations related to the expanded field.
