Art History as Social Praxis : The Collected Writings of David Craven

Art History as Social Praxis: The Collected Writings of David Craven brings together more than thirty essays that chart the development of Craven s voice as an unorthodox Marxist who applied historical materialism to the study of modern art. This book demonstrates the range and versatility of David Craven's praxis as a 'democratic socialist' art historian who assessed the essential role the visual arts play in imagining more just and equitable societies.
