Abstract

The momentous revolutionary changes in culture and in life in general, so characteristic of our era, are being held up in the arts by a number of abnormal phenomena. We have not yet fully understood the irrefutable truth that as far as art is concerned the proletariat cannot be satisfied by the ways of the old schools, for their artistic principles go much deeper and undermine the very roots of the old art.
