This paper aims to explore the differences and fractures between lingual and visual forms of conveying thought, extending to the possibilities of visual material expressing inspiration and the question of its origins and power. The main material of this paper is derived from three of Michel Foucault's works: This Is Not a Pipe, The Order of Things: An Archaeology of the Human Science and The Birth of the Clinic: An Archaeology of Medical Perception. The whole paper consists of four topics. 1. The paralysis of imagination and proper names. Discussing the necessity of openness in visual communication and confinement in lingual communication, also covering the visual communication’s principle "simple is best" and why it is not so. 2. Intermediary domain and self-generation. Pointing out the laxity and arrears between language and visual expressions and their possibilities. 3. Obliterating proper names and another sort of expression. Indicating the immense abyss between words and pictures, and the dream-like space within it. 4. Image derivation and quasi operation. Discovering the strength of self-derivation within the difficulties of discerning and identifying in lingual communications. Usigns derived from Rene Magritte’s paintings as examples, this paper explores the areas concerning imagination and visual communication and its correlation with quasi operation within Foucault's works.
