Art and Artist in Society is a compilation of essays that examine the nexus between artists, the art they create and society. These essays consider how art has changed its form and role both to accommodate newer trends and to fully participate in society. Divided into six thematic sections, the book examines the works of a diverse group of artists working in a range of art forms, such as writers Milan Kundera and Judith Ortiz Cofer, filmmakers Humberto Solás and Walter Salles, performers/photographer Daniel Joseph Martínez and feminist-activists Suzanne Lacy and Leslie Labowitz. The analyses of the work of these artists and other artists offer readers an opportunity to explore a number of important issues in art today, such as the representation of the Other, the exploration of alternative sources of knowledge and the construction of the self. For the array of works it analyzes, this book offers fascinating insights into the art and the artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.

This unique interview book stems from the days when South Africa`s notorious Apartheid regime collapsed. It was written in January of 1988 and I present the talks as they were recorded then. It brought me straight into the heart of the cultural resistance while simultaenously revising anthropological research, too. I looked at the contribution the Arts could play in terminating racial segregation and asked respondents if they would use their creative activity in this regard rather than practicing Art-for-Arts-sake? The book includes a detailed bibliography, a comprehensive set of footnotes and a black and white photo of respondents.

What was the place of the artist in a new society? How would he thrive where monarchy, aristocracy, and an established church—those traditional patrons of painting, sculpture, and architecture—were repudiated so vigorously? Neil Harris examines the relationships between American cultural values and American society during the formative years of American art and explores how conceptions of the artist's social role changed during those years.
