The Objective Mind brings together a series of precise, aphoristic propositions on art, truth, law and perception. In strict verse form and radical clarity Nikolaus Gerszewski articulates a thinking of art that resists all psychologization, relativization and the logic of opinion. Art appears here not as expression, commentary or social function, but as an autonomous order with its own laws. The objective mind does not judge, does not explain, does not mediate—it sees. The book understands art as a practice of attention, of form and of indecision. It turns against taste, consensus and the claim that art must be understandable, useful or relevant. The Objective Mind is an uncompromising text on art as an autonomous form of thought.
