Abstract

For this aim is developed an understanding of animal forms and their expressive appearances, from ideas and theses of french philosophers Merleau-Ponty and Dominique Lestel extracted from the Zoo Studies of Adolf Portmann about the appearance of animals, whose title is Animal Forms and Patterns (Die Tiergestalt). The Portmann’s investigation, focuses on determining a new conception of animal body involved in the mystery of living forms, find out a new and free aesthetic quality that is resulting from the excessive expenditure of non-human beings appearances.
Keywords: Sensible life; Animality; Appearance; Nature.
