THE DREAM OF ARTISTIC FREEDOM

Mark Freeman-1994-01-28-Cambridge University Press eBooks

TL;DRAbstract

As I acknowledged in the introductory chapter of this book, much of what the artists in the present group indicated about the inner workings of the domain of art came as something of a surprise. Partly this had to do with my own naïveté about the contemporary art scene; although I certainly had a serious interest in art prior to that time, I was hardly well schooled in its subtleties and complexities. This surprise, however, also had to do with the fact that a significant portion of the literature I had read in order to learn more about what was happening presented a picture of the situation of contemporary art that frequently ran counter to what I eventually heard from artists themselves.
