If analytical aesthetics was accomplished, on the one hand, as necessary continuation of the theory of neopositivism and, on the other hand, as methodology, which permits to hold the manifestation of modern art. The thesis enlightenments external and internal causes of removing analytical paradigm by postmodernism. The accurate analysis of the A.
