Melancolia of well-being is the feeling that there is nothing rather than something. However, the sublime feeling is that from the very inside of this melancolia, something happens ‘anyway’, a pathos, a core disorder such as Pseudo-Longin’s writing. It is this disruption, as in the influence in love, of the ability to present itself from Kant and Burke to Lyotard and Prado. However, art, as can be grasped in particular with Newman and AYME, resisting the market weakening of our post-modern societies, is precisely the sublime testimony of the ‘thing’ now that goes beyond representation.
