A new 45 pages for a paradoxical title if not oxymoronic: The unknown masterpiece. Master Frenhofer semploie secretly to a stronger paint than reality. It does not just search for perfection, as is said, especially in the Amazon reviews; it does not seek perfection in painting ("You think you know copy nature, you imagine being painters and have stolen God's secret!"), it seeks to go beyond painting. What one must see, this is a woman rather than a table. The table above the table ("You are before a woman and looking for a table."); signified that the signifier as absorbed ("Yes, this is indeed a canvas, said their Frenhofer"). It does therefore not a simple search of perfection to which all artists tend legitimately in the exercise of their craft, but it's looking labsolu (other strong Balzac novel), another reality, not of nature, but art ("The mission of art is not to copy nature, but to express it!"); either the creation of God, but of the painter ("This woman is not a creature, it's a creation"). Lon dailleurs seen previously, how Frenhofer Master is talented, recipient that it is the secret of perfection, say almost perfection that left him the old master Mabuse. But now he longs for more. Virtually perfect canvas, and before which sémerveillent dailleurs and Nicolas Poussin and Porbus he wants more so nen ("It's not as lon reaches larcane force of nature") that reality, in essence, in transcendence, absolute ; here and now, in the brilliance in limmédiateté ("Who's missing? A trifle, but that nothing is everything").
