Summary/Abstract: Based on the theory of Arthur Coleman Danto I try to outline possible similarities between the state of art after its end and the state of melancholy. The melancholic breaks the order, thus paradoxically drawing its boundaries. Aristotle’s Problems, Robert Burton’s Melancholia, and a study of Melancholia of theorist László F. Földényi help us to name characteristics of this state.
