The Necessity of Art: A Marxist Approach, by Ernst Fischer
Download a PDF Sample (1.7 MB)"Ernst Fischer [1899-1972], the Austrian poet and critic, surveys the whole history of artistic achievement through Marxist eyes. People have always needed art: but why have they needed it? And what shaped the forms whereby they satisfied their need? Fischer's answers to these questions should be as voraciously studied and debated here as they have been on the Continent." —Kenneth Tynan, 1960s
Project Notes:
The Necessity of Art is out of print. First published in English in 1961, the work in its original German and the English translation first done by Anna Bostock, are still under copyright. If an interested team were to form, their first step would be to contact the author's estate, previous publisher, and/or translator to determine copyright status and seek their involvement in the project. This project could be a republication of the original translation with Bostock's participation, or a new translation of the original work.
