Bosch

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mainly refers to Hieronymus Bosch to illustrate the fantasy of the fragmented body. He sees this Flemish painter as someone who expresses this fantasy, along with that of castration, without having read Freud1. He returns several times to the cut-up, pierced or dismembered bodies in his paintings2, which he presents as the dislocated body that threatens the narcissist3. In 2024, he links them to psychotic delusion, which he thinks of as the opposite of identity4. He also mentions Bosch in connection with the Grail: from 2018 to 2022, he compares his monsters to the Grail messenger56. In 2024, he also compares them to the temptation of Saint Anthony in the Isenheim Altarpiece7. For him, Bosch thus serves as a visual reference in two contexts: the psychoanalysis of fragmentation and the imagery of the Grail quest.
