Art And Socialism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162653693)

Art and Socialism is a collection of essays written by William Morris, a British artist, writer, and socialist activist. The book explores the relationship between art and socialism, arguing that art should be accessible to all and not just the wealthy elite. Morris believed that art should be used as a tool for social change and that artists should be actively involved in the socialist movement. The essays cover a range of topics, including the history of art, the role of the artist in society, and the importance of craftsmanship. Morris also discusses the impact of industrialization on art and the need for a return to traditional methods of production. Art and Socialism is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the intersection of art and politics.The reverse; no less than that.
