In its own way, art remains inapparent [inapparent], and it is not the coming into appearance [paraître] or phenomenality that presents it—in short, one must be sensitive not just to the form but to the withdrawn movement of a formation. Being sensitive to it is not necessarily to be a “connoisseur” (a word that usually belongs to the artistic scene) but in effect to love, therefore to share this movement of form that desires itself, that desires its sense.
