Summary/Abstract: Art is one of the main themes of Paul Guimard’s novel. His characters are the ambassadors of a society defined by a crisis of values. They use art ‒ painting, directing, acting ‒ in a pragmatic, commercial way. Art and artist are only objects used to get financial benefits. It’s a job like any other job. It has to attract and it has to sale. A distinction has to be made between art and mass culture. The characters in question are: François, The Master, Catherine and Zingel. All these artists submit their talent to consumerism.
