Absurd man as creator and artist is a recurring idea. Since the absurd man takes great joy in experience, it is only natural the absurd man would be especially drawn to creation as an artist. However, absurd art differs greatly from other types of art. It is obvious that an absurd artist would not attempt to imbue his works with any kind of meaning, or find any meaning in them, since it is foundational belief that there is no meaning in anything.
