Most readers will find this Marxism much more sympathetic and close to the great humanist tradition of Western culture than were the old shibboleths. . . The information, explanation and analysis of the last two sections are of exquisite quality. . . By revealing the Marxist dialectic of aspiration and hope, of revolutionary action and messianic outlook, and of a permanent transcendancy of what. . . is presented as socialist achievement [it] contributes genuinely to the humanistic strivings of our bitter and tumultuous time." -- Stefan Morawski, Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism UR - https://openlibrary.org/books/OL4582021M/Marxism_and_art ER -
