Red Sword-White Canvas: The Past, Present, and Future of the Avant-Garde and Avant-Garde Aesthetics

Authors

Ben Read, The College of WoosterFollow

Abstract

This book examines and critiques various elements surrounding the existence of a postmodern avant-garde, the nature of the historical dialectic of the avant-garde, and the ultimate role which conflict plays in the formation of these artistic and aesthetic dimensions. It subsequently answers the challenges raised by these discoveries through the positing of a reformulated aesthetic expressionism.
