Art and Anarchy by EDGAR WIND
Professor of History of Art In the University of Oxford and Fellow of Trinity College 1: Oar Present Discontents
In this lecture Professor Wind ascribes the causes of our discontent to our success in removing art to a zone of safety where it does not touch the central energies of life. He claims that the wide diffusion of art today has brought with it a loss of density: while we get more art than any previous generation, for that very reason we get less out of it.
