Abstract
This contribution argues that forms of governance and the forms of life of which they are part first emerge in the visual sphere, particularly in painting. Drawing on Gilles Deleuze’s work on painting, this paper illustrates this position by showing how the immediate post-war work of painters such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko can be said to crystallize traces of an emerging post-material, post-constructive, or late modern form of life and governance.
