A particular snail comes to meet a very special lettuce leaf. HG Wells said: "Many very serious things have been said as a joke." Without going any further than the seminal novel, the one that gave rise to the existence of the novel as we know it, "Don Quixote" is for the most part a book that confronts reality with humor.
Art must be completely free, even from its "supposed" aesthetic function. A work does not have to be pleasing to the eye or match your curtains, that is decoration, not art. A work can generate disgust, repulsion, horror, poetic fascination ... The work has to confront the viewer and provoke in him a movement to decipher, to generate questions about that mystery that is posed to him. Quoting Hermann Broch: "The demand of the artist, as always, is to produce 'good' works and only the dilettante and the kitsch producer produce their work seeking beauty." "The" good "work must be able to connect with the epistemological nature of art, discovering new introvisions and new ways of perceiving and experiencing".
Laughter as well as sex and the arts have disturbed power, so laugh, enjoy and believe.
