Abstract

This paper aims to examine the correlation between the nonrepresentational body image in modern art and Georges Bataille’s concept of ‘the formless’. Therefore, Chapter 2 defines the concept of the nonrepresentational body image and examines cases in art history. In addition, by discussing the correlation between post structuralism and the nonrepresentational body image, the basis for the involvement of the body’s nonrepresentation in modern art is laid out. Chapter 3 discusses the analytical basis of the nonrepresentational body image by examining Georges Bataille’s concept of ‘the formless’ and its practical strategy, which provides a key element in the analysis of works. Chapter 4 analyzes the nonrepresentation of the body image in modern art based on Georges Bataille’s theory, as discussed above. Through this, the researcher presents the appearance of modern people whose nonrepresentational body image in the works of sample artists cross the boundary between the subject and the other as a sensory trace of the formless body, and it was found that behind it was the ‘Concept of Transgression’, which presupposes Georges Bataille’s negativity.
