The following article introduces the original researcher Max
Imdahl (1925–1988) to the Russian speaking readers of art theory.
In search of actualisation of his conception for the Russian speaking
audience the article tries to present his theory as an answer to the
question that plays an important role in the aesthetic and cultural
discussion today. The question which is meant is that about the
possible conditions of some third way that lies on the opposite side
of two extremes both similarly restricted. These extremes are the
traditional aesthetic paradigm and its radical (incl. postmodern) denials. Based on the detailed analysis of four texts of Imdahl, this article explicates some characteristic qualities of the denoted artistic
position: First of all, the question is about the specific function of
the work of art, its particular attitude to the contradiction and also
about the particular relationship that arises within the triangle of
the author – a piece of art – the spectator.
