(Kirkus Reviews)
Marxism and Art is a book of basic readings in Marxist criticism
and aesthetics. Maynard Solomon, through his selections and
critical introductions, shows connections between the arts and
society, between imagination nd history, and between art and
revolution. He selects from thirty-six authors to reveal the range
of opinion from dogma to heresy, beginning with excerpts from the
works of Marx and Engels that are pertinent to an understanding of
Marxist philosophy. The book traverses a wide range of subjects
from the origins of art to the nature of creativity, the aesthetic
experience, the dialectics of consciousness, the psychology of art,
and the evolution of art forms. The sources of art in ritual, in
the labor process, in the play drive, and in social conflict are
explored.
