"The ‘'Philosophy of Art’', written in 1931, is a crucial point in the thought of Gentile. Here, art exists only if it is not resolved in thinking thought, which, on the other hand, it cannot fail to do. However, if art is resolved in thinking thought, it is thought and not art, and as art it does not exist. Art posits itself but in positing itself it negates itself: it is elusive, it can be experienced but not thought. If it is thought, it dies. (chap. 3, p. 64)"
