Georges Bataille understands art as a useless and unselfish activity that reflects the “cursed part” of humanity. It is a groundbreaking activity that brings humanity closer to its creative sovereignty. Bataille doesn’t understand art as an abstract discourse. For him, art is what unleashes thought. Studying Bataille’s contribution to several magazines, this text analyzes the role of art in his philosophical reflection.
