Невидљиви

The novel consists of 33 letters that Dr Dimitrije Gerasimović Gerasim sends from his sickbed, from 1953 on, to a young friend in Chicago. In them he reveals his role in the greatest art conspiracy of the century and describes an era, its events and ideas. Why, after the first Impressionist exhibition of 1874, did modern painting develop in such an unexpected way, greeted with contempt and ridicule? Alongside fictional characters, Chagall, Derain, Picasso and Dalí appear, and the book grows into a picaresque novel of education about people who rise from minor players to controllers of the course of art history: an alternative history of modern culture and a plausible mystification.
