Review
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Anarchy and Art is not a politically neutral examinationBy Midwest Book ReviewActivist and art critic Allan Antliff presents Anarchy and Art: From the Paris Commune to the Fall of the Berlin Wall; a thoughtful philosophical discussion of arts potential as a conduit to carry messages of revolution and meaningful social change. Focusing on critical moments since the nineteenth century when artists; poets; philosophers; and critics have dared to speak their voice concerning pivotal events; Anarchy and Art complements its text with a number of black-and-white illustrations and a few color plates of provocative works. Anarchy and Art is not a politically neutral examination; reflecting the authors leftist tendencies and commitment to activism; yet its core message about the role of art as a media that can sway hearts and minds resounds fervently in the mind of the reader.
