Description
Excerpt from Art, Artists Society: Origin of a Modern Dilemma; Painting in England and France, 1750-1850
After surviving more than half a century of attacks as nonart or anti-art, various styles of modern painting continue to ?ourish despite their ambiguity of form and content. Yet, aside from conferring social prestige and serving as a commodity for investment, or as a decorative appendage to homes or public buildings, painting seems to have little place in our technological twentieth century except as a font of psycho logical discontents and fulfillments.
