Art Brut

ART BRUT is a psychological study of an intoxicated protagonist, staggering literally under the spell of a relentless competition in a self-thwarting process he often identifies as enriching but sterile, limitless but truncated, despite the increasing number and sophistication of tools and worldviews at his disposal. The artist in pursuit of a muse, truth, originality, even his own sanity cannot escape the well-reasoned or the absurd pitch today, and hopelessly bound to this apoplectic plane, thus can only be comforted as a fallen soldier on that battleground where "art" and "politics" beat each other up, while few are they who seem the wiser. Yes, the martyr is not only the brush, but also the paint.

Not exactly the unbearable lightness of being, but vaguely an antithesis...
