Description
Artpolitik: Exploring Radical Aesthetics in Western Culture Since the late nineteenth century, art and politics have been intertwined in radical movements. This book examines the relationship between art and politics, focusing on key ideas that have shaped radical aesthetics. Neala Schleuning draws on a range of sources, including Surrealism, Socialist Realism, the Situationist International, and critical theory, to develop a social anarchist approach to aesthetics. The result is a provocative exploration of the core ideas inspiring radical art, which challenges readers to think about the role of art in revolutionary change. By analyzing periods of artistic expression that were consciously political, Schleuning offers new insights into how art can be used to communicate radical ideas and inspire social change. This book is an essential resource for artists and activists seeking to understand the power of art in shaping our world.
