Abstract

Conditioned by the economic mode of each social formation, painting has participed -and not to a lesser extent- in the adaptation. Its governing images have given body and shape to the ideological gears, and its functional value has been redirected to the mere fetishisthic relation. In this way, in the moment when the paint is, inmediatly ceases to be itself. On the other hand, art has autonomy and freedom as a condition, and in the artist is not decisive the harmonic consciusness, since he lacks freedom, and he is in dialectic with social reality intervening in its transformation. This article attempts to account for how the life and oeuvre of John Singer Sargent make reference to this antinomic nature, wich remind us the idea and reality of freedom itself. For the analysis, those authors who have tried to rescue the world of instrumental rationality are recovered.
