Publisher's Synopsis
"Mystetstvo i robitnychy klas" (Art and the Working Class) by A. Bogdanov, originally published in 1921, explores the relationship between artistic expression and the burgeoning proletariat in the early Soviet era. Bogdanov, a prominent Marxist theorist, examines how art can serve as a tool for social change and reflect the values and aspirations of the working class. He delves into the role of art in shaping collective consciousness and fostering a new culture that embodies the spirit of the revolution.
This work offers insights into the cultural and political debates of the time, highlighting the efforts to create a proletarian art that would break from bourgeois traditions and celebrate the achievements of the working class. It provides a valuable perspective on the intersection of art, ideology, and social transformation in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution.
