Manet and the Object of Painting by Nicolas Bourriaud, Matthew Barr, Michel Foucault

Possibly the easiest Foucault to understand, especially if you have previous knowledge of European art history. Translated from a talk (which also makes it easier to comprehend), it's a short read that utilizes some of Foucault's more complex ideas of invisibility/silences, simplifying them with visual representations and repetitive discussion. Being Foucault, the logic is fairly binary (before and after, visible and invisible, here and there), but definitely a fun read.

Es la primera vez que leo algo de Foucault y también algo de Manet así que no sé cuánta opinión puedo tener, pero se lee muy rápido y me gustó la claridad con la que explica los tres puntos centrales en los que el artista revoluciona la pintura.
