The Pensive Image: Art as a Form of Thinking Grootenboer Hanneke
Grootenboer considers painting as a form of thinking in itself, rather than a subject of philosophical and interpretive thought.While the philosophical dimension of painting has long been discussed, a clear case for painting as a form of visual thinking has yet to be made. Grootenboer moves beyond these considerations to focus on what remains unspoken in painting, the implicit and inexpressible that manifests in a quality she calls pensiveness. Traditionally, vanitas still life paintings are considered to raise ontological issues while landscapes direct the mind toward introspection.
An alternative pictorial category, pensive images stir us away from interpretation and toward a state of suspension where thinking through and with the image can start. Different from self-aware or actively desiring images, pensive images are speculative, pointing beyond interpretation.
