Summary/Abstract: This monography refers to the problem of existence of the art in the modern humanistic discourse. The light is on the social influence of artistic expressions. We’d like to show that texts of art created and still create not only the commentary on facts, phenomena and emotions observed but also are certain prognosis for the future. Both works of temporary artists as well representing alder generation had been analised. We try to point to essential formal and acsiologic problems including the presence of metaphysical questions. The proposals presented here show the universal and actual character. They allow recipients to confront the fundamental challenges, reality put in front of us as well the role and place today and in tradition.
