Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses Plato’s and Aristotle’s conception of beauty and their relation to art, and especially Aristotle anticipation of modernist art and avantgarde poetics of the twentieth century, which is reflected in two fragments of „Poetics“ and „Physics“. Related to abstract art (which old Greeks did not know) citizen of Stagira and Athenian paradoxically replaced their usual positions of idealism and „realism“. In other words Aristotle can be linked with a certain idealistic tendencies, while in Plato, who argued for ideological art, we can discern radically „realistic“ tendencies.
