Contemporary art is intriguing, because it is not easy to understand. We say nothing about how hard they enjoy, especially the unprepared viewer. But the deal still want, is not it?

Website was little cheat sheet on contemporary art, where the illustrations - the works of famous painters and sculptors. Forgive us connoisseurs and critics, it is rather a joke, and maybe our own attempt to organize and remember everything.

1. If you see colored spots and squiggles, as if the artist with a running start and heartily lyapa paint, it is Abstract Expressionism

2. If this is the toilet, brick, excavator, garbage, and other boring things, but they were put under the glass and gave abstruse explanation, it is conceptualism

Damien Hirst, "For the love of God" (platinum skull with diamonds shows the triumph of religion golden calf). Joseph Beuys, "The chair with a fat" (which is an attempt to "merge with nature mystical shaman level").

3. The same toilet, but without any explanation - ready-made

Marcel Duchamp bought a urinal in the store (in another version, found in the trash) and put under the name of "Fountain" and under the pseudonym «R. Mutt »(fool). Incidentally, it was sold for $ 1 million-plus.
