        I Know at least, that it is Absurdity

Nobody wished to let others know he saw nothing, for then he would have been unfit for his office or
too stupid. Never emperor’s clothes were more admired.
“But he has nothing on at all,” said a little child at last.

Hans Christian Andersen


        The modern art already since a long time has gone on a magic way, the main fairy tale on which is "The Emperor's New Suit".
        Artists-tailors make the next new suit, and critics tell about highly artistic value of the project, hinting at its clearness as an exclusive prerogative of modern people, having delicate perception intellectuals who possess wide reading and wide seeing. Product for all those who is capable to see cues and associations and, at the same time, it is not capable to see, that all this is dragged in, concocted out of thin air and in general is a mirage. And this mirage which has been picked up by mass-media, nobody can already dare to deny as a frank fiction.
        Here is a paradox of the modern art - than the work the more incomprehensible or the more beggarly is, then the chances of it are better to convince the world in greatness of this.

        Absurdity made a principle and a principle lifted up to a level of Absurdity ©
