Abstract (en)
Examines the use of wit and a comic attitude in 20th c. avant-garde art, and suggests that such art responds to the unconscious need for comic relief in a society that has tried to compel its members to take everything seriously. Cites distinctions between Modernist and Post-Modernist wit.
