Magical Thinking

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the evolving concept of 'avant-garde' in contemporary art, the book critiques its ironic usage as it begins to imply being outdated rather than progressive. The term, rooted in military language, reflects a time when artists actively challenged social norms. However, just as modern warfare lacks a defined structure, so does the realm of art, leading to a subjective interpretation of what constitutes art. This shift raises questions about the hierarchy of artistic innovation and the fluidity of creative expression in today's landscape.
