Opis

"Art on the Line" is a collection of essays by writers and artists speaking about where their social commitment and their art intersect. These essays illuminate the aesthetics of "engaged art," and include work by artists from Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the United States.

These socially-engaged artists write about art that moves people to action as well as pleasure, writing about the function of the arts, in the tradition of artists like Bertolt Brecht, Kathe Kollwitz, and Richard Wright.
