loginArt writing normally contrasts art with “everyday life.” This book explores art asintegral to the everyday life of modern society, providing materials to representclass and class conflict, to explore sex and sexuality, and to think about modernindustry and economic relationships. Art, as we know it, is not common to allforms of society but is peculiar to our own; what art ischanges with people’sconceptions of the tasks of art, conceptions that are themselves a part of socialhistory. The history of society does not shape art from the outside, but includesthe attempts of artists to find new ways of making art and thinking about it.
