It is said that in the dimly lit, avant-garde alleys of 1920s Berlin, a young artist named "Boris" created the first truly Absurd work.
"Boris" was a man of little talent but much passion. He spent his days painting the mundane and the ordinary in a style that was equal parts cubism and kindling.
Legend has it that "Boris" was inspired by the city's vibrant, yet bleak, nightlife. His works were a reflection of the surreal, dreamlike state he found himself in after a particularly raucous night at the local cabaret.
Today, "Boris" is celebrated as the father of Absurd art, a movement that values the unvalued and the unseen.
