The texts displayed here address the issue of landscape and its relationship with painting from different perspectives. It is a book that welcomes the reader exposing and clearly articulating the relationships that allow understanding complex problems that concern the history of art and painting, through the reading of Chilean works of art. This characteristic, its hospitality, does not mean in this case a lack of depth; on the contrary, the texts connect various dimensions of knowledge, the only way to move from the field of information to that of understanding. In this process there is jouissance, it is the jouissance of thought in motion, of a thought that unfolds and integrates itself as an analysis tool, without taking into account what is first obvious: that here the experience of a painting lover.
