First published in 1982, The Sociology of Art considers all forms
of the arts, whether visual arts, literature, film, theatre or
music from Bach to the Beatles. The last book to be completed by
Arnold Hauser before his death in 1978, it is a total analysis of
the spiritual forces of social expression, based upon comprehensive
historical experience and documentation. Hauser explores art
through the earliest times to the modern era, with fascinating
analyses of the mass media and current manifestations of human
creativity. An extension and completion of his earlier work, The
Social History of Art, this volume represents a summing up of his
thought and forms a fitting climax to his life's work. Translated
by Kenneth J. Northcote.
First published in 1965, Mannerism is the rediscovery and
revaluation of Mannerism, that long misjudged artistic style which
came into its own during the crisis of the Renaissance.
Expressionism, Surrealism and Abstract Art prepared the ground for
a new understanding of Mannerism, and Dr. Hauser shows how this
revaluation signifies an even deeper caesura in intellectual
history than the crisis of the Renaissance itself in which
Mannerism arose. These propositions however, only touch on the
problem which is exhaustively treated by Hauser in all its
historical and thematical variations. The author does not confine
himself to the observation of development from the point of view of
the history of art. In Part One he considers the emergence of the
scientific worldview during the Renaissance, the economic and
social revolution, religious movements and political ideas, the
problem of alienation, and narcissism as keys to the understanding
of Mannerism. Part Two, which deals with the history of Mannerism
both in Italy and abroad, gives not only remarkable analyses of
works of art with the aid of 322 reproductions, but also considers
leading representatives of the literature of the Mannerism in
Italy, Spain, France, and England. Again, in Part Three, parallel
and connecting lines are drawn between art and literature to make
the rules of form and the contents clearly recognisable. The book
will be of interest to students of art history and literature.

First published in 1959, this book is concerned with the
methodology of art history, and so with questions about historical
thinking; it enquires what scientific history of art can
accomplish, what are its mean and limitations? It contains
philosophical reflections on history and begins with chapters on
the scope and limitations of a sociology of art, and the concept of
ideology in the history of art. The chapter on the concept of "art
history without names" occupies the central position in the book -
thoroughly discussing the basic philosophical outlook for the whole
work. There are also further chapters on psychoanalysis, folk art
and popular art. The chapter on the role of convention in the
history of art points the way for further study.
