Modern Art: Basic Assumptions, Definitions, and QualificationsThe Value of Avant-Garde PaintingGiven these new criteria, what needs and interests does avant-gardepainting address?Here Schapiro appeals to the value of• reclaiming the individual "handmade" quality of painting against thehomogenization one finds in mass-produced objects, and• experiencing the “spontaneity and intense feeling” in modern art asan antidote to the numbing effects of modern work that flows not fromone's intrinsic interests and desires, but is imposed by the needs andinterests of others — what Marx refers to as “alienated labor”.Surprisingly perhaps, Schapiro is appealing to a populist role for avantgardeart. That’s because it reaches "out into common life", he claims, andin doing so, is accessible to everyone. [8]Tuesday, February 7, 2012
