Anagrams: Ars Magna
Our first proposal is about one of the oldest and finest word games: anagram. Greek writers, and remarkably Licofron, made the first known anagrams. But you don't need to be a Doctor in Philosopy to understand the exact nature of Lulian Ars Magna. If you have ever played Scrabble you will notice one simple thing: you shake the eight letters of Lulius fascinating philosohpical system called Ars Magna and you can get Anagrams. All sorts of anagrams. Sarcastic and magic ones. For instance, French surrealist poet Andre Breton discovered that Salvador Dalí could be strictly described by an anagram: avida dollars. But he is not the only artist who has been disembodied in this sort of "ana-grammar". Piet Mondrian, for instance, is far better understood if you take into account that he always knew what to do: I paint modern.
As Contemporay art is quite difficult to understand, we propose that you write down artist's names and their illustrative anagrams. We are going to accept titles, too. Sometimes artists hide their exact intentions under gorgeous titles. Be careful. Contemporary art is Poetry matron car.
