The Art of Hector Giuffre
Process science recognizes that the supremacy of personal life, culture, and creativity in human processes.
Process, art, literature, and music play a major role in the process approach to psychological medicine and to
social action. What can process theory contribute to the philosophy of art? D. Seiden and H. Sabelli explored this
issue in "Co-Creation: A Process Theory of Form in Art and Life." (Proceedings of the International Society
for the Systems Sciences, 1992). Another exploration is "Lo que no fué. Drafts and sketches, reflections
and shadows", a semi-fictional biography (in Spanish) of the Argentine painter Hector Giuffre by Hector Sabelli.
Leading themes are opposition, ambiguity, mathematical esthetics, and personal
realism. Appropriately, the book opens with Hector's self-portrait, where distance contradicts self-revelation,
and the geometric balances the personal. This portrait moved Hector to write a book about Hector.
