Republication of the book ‘Da Cegueira dos Pintores’ (On the Blindness of Painters, a translation into Portuguese of the original French version ‘Discours sur la cécité du peintre’ by Pedro Tamen, Imprensa Nacional – Casa da Moeda, 1986)

Volume II of Parte Escrita, ‘Da Cegueira dos Pintores’, restores to the public a set of remarkable essays on painting, artistic activity and the nature of the gaze itself. This collection of essays, which may be considered as a handbook for professionals and has long been desired by the public, has a literary and aesthetic content that elevates artistic activity, particularly painting, to the level of philosophical thought.
