Goergy Dmitrievich Lavrov was born in Siberia in 1895. Studied at Moscow College. Contributed to the Third Exhibition of Paintings by Artists from Kaluga and Moscow held in Kaluga in 1925 and exhibited at the Paris Salons. In 1927, he was sent to Paris on the recommendation of Lunacharsky where he sculpted many of the luminaries of the time including Anna Pavlova, and in 1932 had a one-man show. Skeptical of the reports of oppression in Russia that reached him in Paris, he returned home only to be arrested in 1938, accused of participating in an attempt on Stalin's life. Condemned to five years hard labor, he was subsequently subject to internal exile and was rehabilitated only in 1954. Died in 1991.

The disintegration of this largely unconscious linkage leads to Art or Madness......perhaps.....even to Wisdom or Folly.

[Claude Bernard, Leçons sur les Phénomènes de la Vie Communs, 1878-1879] Divergent trajectories of parallel systems may lead to entropy, or ultimately....to mathematical systems that seem to reflect order at an incomprehensible level....the illusions of dogma and of science....

THEATRE OF THE ABSURD

Camus's philosophy of absurdism is based on the idea that the universe is incomprehensible and indifferent to our desire for meaning, purpose, and happiness.  He believed that people should not try to create meaning where it doesn't exist, but instead accept the absurdity of life and live in spite of it.
