| Резюме: | Alongside marking Beckett’s obvious fascination with what we would now
call greyscale images, this chapter will argue that Beckett’s modernist, often
minimalist works also materialise an analogous temporal aesthetic: a grey

of fulfilment or progression. In a greyscale image, the value of each
pixel is a single sample representing only an amount of light; in other words,
it carries information only about intensity rather than chromatic difference. |
