He has a rather tense relationship with popularity and a lot of questions hanging in the air. Is the piece real art? What are the criteria for assessing contemporary art? Who defines these criteria? What does the formula that determines the success of a work in society look like? Are the paintings of Monet, Renoir and Degas really beautiful? Why is a large painting more expensive than a small one? Let’s figure it out once and for all. What we see more often in books, in the media, on television, on the Internet becomes the canon of our culture.
