‘Siege Laid Again’: Arikha’s Gaze, Beckett’s Painted Stage
View through CrossRef
Chapter 3 explores Beckett’s relationship with the Romanian-Jewish painter Avigdor Arikha. After long practicing as an abstract painter, in 1965 Arikha committed himself to working “from observation”. His painting breaks with the traditions of Cézanne and Matisse, and was inspired by his discovery of Caravaggio. The chapter analyzes Arikha’s painting and Beckett’s later theatre through their shared aesthetic values and common interest in Caravaggio. Beckett’s plays like Come and Go, Footfalls and Not I are viewed as the realization of tableau and as a staging of the emergence of the human as thing.
