This Dictionary uses both typical and atypical terms to aim at one thing: modern and contemporary art's reproductive nature. Its subject is its enemy. From many different angles, the Dictionary speaks and shows how art of the last 130 years reproduces our nihilist misfortune in many forms: historical, political, scientific, cultural and others. Fortune that is to be produced is pushing this Dictionary forward and so is the Dictionary pushing its readers onward, ahead of betterment and beauty.
