Handkes Zeichnungen erschienen 2019 bei Schirmer/Mosel. Der Band versammelt 104 grafische Blätter aus seinen Notizbüchern (die Faksimiles aus dem Novum Testamentum Graece eingerechnet, sind es 106 Farbtafeln); die Mehrzahl der Zeichnungen war bereits in "Vor der Baumschattenwand nachts" (2016) enthalten. Diese bislang letzte publizierte Sammlung mit einer Auswahl an Notaten trägt den Untertitel "Zeichen und Anflüge von der Peripherie 2007–2015". Handke kam dem Vorschlag des Galeristen Klaus Gerrit Friese nach, seine grafisch festgehaltenen "Zeichen und Anflüge" in dessen Berliner Galerie zu zeigen und entnahm seinen Notizbüchern die unverkäuflichen Blätter. Nachdem sie 2017 in Berlin zu sehen waren, sind sie inzwischen möglicherweise in den Bestand des Deutschen Literaturarchivs Marbach übergegangen, das im selben Jahr 154 der hemdtaschengroßen Journale angekauft hat. Als Katalog zur Ausstellung ist 2019 der schön gestaltete Zeichnungen-Band mit einem Essay des italienischen Philosophen Giorgio Agamben verlegt worden.
In December 1960 the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York displayed a series of thirty-four illustrations of the "Inferno" by the avant-garde artist Robert Rauschenberg. Rauschenberg had developed this project over the previous two years, working on it almost exclusively, first in New York City, and then in an isolated storage room in Treasure Island, Florida, where he retreated to concentrate on the last half of the cycle. [...] Whatever the spark that set the project in motion, we find Rauschenberg's reply to his detractors here: the refuse that crowded his "Combines" was no joke, nor was it there to undermine or deride high art in the spirit of Dada. With his collection of things, he was composing a new language, turning fragments - the ruins of his environment and culture - into emblems. And what is an emblem if not a composite figure, an assemblage of diverse fragments into a new unity and order? As such, it is an elusive visual allegory whose pictorial image tends to lose its consistency and become a sign open to interpretations; in it, the different narratives springing from its multiple nature come together and give birth to a polysemic language. It is with this language, abstract and referential at the same time, that Rauschenberg translates Dante's poem and makes it new by linking it to something in existence, present in the viewer’s reality of mechanically reproduced images. By choosing 'to ennoble the ordinary', he, perhaps unconsciously, became the hermeneutist of his age and gave durability to what was trivial and precarious.
