Versatilist manifesto

Versatilism Logo.[1]

Versatilism is an artistic movement proposed in 2007, by Brazilian artist Denis Mandarino, from a literary manifesto,[2] with the intention of freeing people from the expert analysis[3] and promote the practice of art as a form of self-knowledge and spiritual enhancement.[4] In the body of text are present the following aesthetic principles and propositions:

  1. Eternal life, the existence of God and the spirit;
  2. Untying the artistic practice of the art market and self-centeredness;[5]
  3. The search for artistic expressions that promote humanity and society, respecting the present level of consciousness of the artist;[6]
  4. Continuously changing level of consciousness and learning process as infinite;[7]
  5. The absence of art competitions;[2]
  6. Questioning the role of the art critic for the inability to assess the man his neighbor in an impartial and timeless.[8]
"New ideas are hard to identify, hard to assimilate, and only detachment may be able to evaluate them in a more open way. When a man assumes the role of giving the verdict about what artists are doing, or the society gives him this role, we are one step closer to repeat the greatest injustices that men of science, philosophy, arts and religion have suffered throughout history." -- Interview about the Versatilist Manifesto [1]
