The Mask of Art: Breaking the Aesthetic Contractfilm and Literature

by Clyde Romer Hughes Taylor

Exposes the concept of art as a tool of Ethnocentricity and racial ideology. This book challenges the history of Aesthetics as an invention of privileged Western consumerism, and questions the myth of its ancient Greek origin. Examining various texts, it demonstrates how rationales of art are used to mask personal, class, and cultural biases.
