Versatilist Manifesto

Versatilism is an artistic movement proposed in 2007, by Brazilian artist Denis Mandarino, from a literary manifesto, with the intention of freeing people from the expert analysis and promote the practice of art as a form of self-knowledge and spiritual enhancement. In the body of text are present the following aesthetic principles and propositions:

"New ideas are hard to identify, hard to assimilate, and only detachment may be able to evaluate them in a more open way.
