Summary: What is the relation of the arts to capitalism, class-values, patronage and property, or to Communism, realism and freedom of expression? Are the arts in the West today, and the cultural context within which they are practised, at a dead end?. This book is addressed to the promotion of radical perspectives in the arts, which is understood to be synonymous with a concern for fundamental or root aspects of aesthetic objects and activity and experience.
