Art and Society: essays in Marxist Aesthetics by Adolfo Sanchez Vazquez paperback in good used condition "The breakup of dogmatic and sectarian conceptions which formerly dominated Marxism in the field of aesthetics (as in other fields) has opened a discussion among Marxists over the aesthetic relationship to reality, over art in general, and over modern art in particular. "The debate," writes the author, "is wide open and the old dogmatism will no longer be able to close it. The important thing is to critically deal with the various views on this subject, adopting at the same time a creative critical attitude." Sanchez Vázquez presents us with a profound study of art and society, based securely upon Marxist fundamentals and venturing without timidity or stereotypes into the fundamental questions of modern art: its relationship with capitalism, its so-called decadence, the production and consumption of art, "mass art" and experimental or hermetic art, and so on.
