Modern art can be classified into two forms : art as art and antithetical art. The latter, which appeared for the first time in this century, is discussed in this paper. It has at times been regarded as modern art. Antithetical art, however, as the term suggests, is not self-sufficient but rather resultant from the preceding art. Marcel Duchamp, one of the first antithetical artists, has denied the possibility of defining art, but Joseph Kosuth in recent years takes an afirmative atittude and even demands to define it. In which points are these two proposals different from or similar to each other? We try to clarify the genetic conditions of antithetical art.
