Images precede the real, making and shaping it into what we come to name and know as the real, producing it, fabricating it, into the worlds we come to inhabit.

About This Quote

images precede the real, making and shaping it into what we come to name and know as the real, producing it, fabricating it, into the worlds we come to inhabit. The quotation, “images precede the real, making and shaping it into what we come to name and know as the real” was written by Michelangelo Buonarroti in his book “The Sand Paintings.” This quote is about the creation of imaginative images that help create what we actually see. These images are not simply static pictures frozen in time; rather these images are actively created by artists who make their fantasies concrete. These mental representations of the world work together with our senses to create our individual reality.
