Cultivated Impasses: Writings on Modern Art

Cultivated Impasses Writings on Modern Art Max Kozloff Max Kozloff identifies a dialectic in the field of modern art: a struggle between the romantic conception of the artist, i.e. Turner, and an ethical imperative that art participate in social struggle, i.ee Orozco, Rivera and the muralist movement. Artist production oscillates between these two impulses, but has been transformed by the creation of a new international art market.
