The evolution of linguistics, psychology, history of religions and
history of art, the problems of signs, of symbols and myths have
in fact been considered in their relationship with the methods and
principles of their various interpretations. In this way the study
of the history of art can not be separated from any of the other
humanistic disciplines, because it is indispensable for a broader and
correct comprehension of the various fields of human knowledge
and of reality itself. If a symbol represents one of the elements
generally common to the various disciplines then the history of
art can become not only the history of semiotics but of all those
disciplines that in the past shared the field of signs and symbols

- semantics, logic, rhetoric, investigation, aesthetics, philosophy,
ethnology, psychoanalysis, poetics -. and of some of their subjects
named, from time to time, imitation and beauty, education and
pleasure, tropes and figures, condensation and movement.
Through the study of the history of art, of signs and symbols, we
put forward as a possibility the research of a plural and typological
thought, which maintains the differences without emphasizing it.
A methodological principle where the reading of an artistic text is
intended as a description and an interpretation at the same time: a
course into space of an artistic personality.The relations between
art, literature and philosophy are a continuum: from Ficino and
Leonardo to Rilke and Rodine, to Beckett and Bacon, up to the
contemporary minimalists. Therefore art criticism must not be a
merely structural construction (without art), but a vital, dynamic
portrait of a work where the many types, not the many substances,
are the subjects because, otherwise, there would be established a
factious hierarchy that can not absolutely take place. (excerpt)
