Theory Of The Avant Garde by Gottfried Burger
A Marxist-informed critique that examines how twentieth-century avant-garde movements attempted to abolish the autonomy of art by reintegrating art into social practice, analyzing Dada, Futurism, Constructivism, Surrealism and others as efforts to make art a revolutionary, communicative activity; the study argues these projects ultimately failed—either by being recuperated into cultural institutions or reduced to aesthetic novelty—and uses this history to rethink the relationship between art, society and institutional power, influencing subsequent debates on art’s political function and institutional critique.
