This article aims to investigate how Michel Foucault and Roland Barthes analyzed the work of the painters Édouard Manet and Cy Twombly guided by the idea that, in modernity, the artwork can no longer be interpreted merely as the expression of the author’s subjectivity, but instead, by virtue of the relationship it holds with the culture and the art history which preceeds it, as well as to evaluate how close to formalism this approach is.
