Abstract

The author reviews After the Avant-Gardes: Reflections on the Future of the Fine Arts, edited by Elizabeth Millán, and agrees with many of its contributors that avant-garde art and totalitarianism are based on the same worldview. The author views this collection as a brilliant critique of the avant-garde, which might provide a way to transcend its deeply dehumanizing effects.
