Time and image in Gaston Bachelard and Henri Bergson

This article seeks an approach to the question of the time of creation. The aesthetic reflections of Gaston Bachelard put emphasis on this aspect, however, constant reference -as opposed- to the duration of Henri Bergson, thus developing an intuitional dialectic in which the duration is faced to the instant. The place where takes place this struggle of intuitions is the image, because there, following Bachelard, the essential temporality of the artistic creation manifests itself.
