ART BOOKS

oUTER-aRT, the Worst Possible Art in the
World! art book by Florentin Smarandache

Email: smarand@unm.edu

"Outer-Art" is a movement set up as a protest
against, or to ridicule, such random modern art
which states that everything is...art! It was initiated
by Dr. Florentin Smarandache, in the 1990s, who
ironically called for an upside-down artwork: to do
art in a way it is not supposed to be done, i.e. to
make art as ugly, as silly, as wrong as possible,
and generally as impossible as possible!
