Art In Its Time [EPUB ebook] 
Theories and Practices of Modern Aesthetics

Art In Its Time takes a close look at the way in which art has become integral to the everyday “ordinary“ life of modern society. It explores the prevalent notion of art as transcending its historical moment, and argues that art cannot be separated from the everyday as it often provides material to represent social struggles and class, to explore sexuality, and to think about modern industry and our economic relationships.
