Summary/Abstract: The author of the article starts his deliberations with a recollection of Grigorij Gurdżijew andhis conception of art. As if under Gurdżijew’s influence, he reflects on the most profound senseof art. He reminds the readers about the revaluations which occured in art in the 20th century, bydrawing their attention to the divergence from the subject and figurativeness in painting and to theredefinitions of the category of beauty. The author also devotes a lot of attention to the influenceof surrealists. Simultaneously, he notices that crossing the borders, so important in art, is not an“invention” of the last century. Many distinguished artists of bygone eras, who were importantto the author, were balancing on the verge of objectivity and magic (coincidence and mystery),life and art. The author pays special attention to these artists who conduct their artistic search bymeans of exploitation of different art forms — painting and literature at the same time.
