- Summary
- "One of the powers of art is its ability to convey the human aspects of political events, from war to revolution to sexual liberation. Art can also transform society, a theme that pervades this survey on art, artists, and anarchism since the nineteenth century. In this book, Allan Antliff interrogates moments of engagement when artists, poets, philosophers, and critics have confronted pivotal events since the nineteenth century. Exploring art's potential as a vehicle for meaningful social change from an anarchist perspective, he throws new light on what it means to be radical."--book jacket.
