Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we deal with the feeling of the absurd as an aesthetic experience in art. We define the phenomenon of absurd and we explore the relationship of artist and recipient to this phenomenon. We single out two ways of projection of the absurd into works of art: one is the artistic projection of the absurd through the artistically valuable works, be they literary, artistic, musical, the other is a projection of the absurd through absurd works, which, except general relativization of artistic principles, can’t even be called artistic. First of all, we deal with the works of Samuel Beckett, Franz Kafka, Charles Baudelaire and Marcel Duchamp. In the context of the question of the absurd we also emphasize the issues of morality, mind, consciousness and conscience. We refer to the views of philosophers and theorists arts such as Charles Taylor, Seraphim Rose, Jovan Hristić, Jean-Pierre Sarazak.
