About the author :
Michel Ragon was one of France's leading art critics and a largely self-taught intellectual. His independent outlook allowed him to challenge artistic orthodoxies and to support emerging movements often overlooked by the cultural establishment.
Why this book is unusual :
Rather than celebrating modern art uncritically, Michel Ragon examines the social, economic and ideological mechanisms that shape artistic recognition.
