They discuss how the interplay between authority and freedom are the lifeblood of the arts, how the essence of the arts is their ability to free us from fixed definitions and categories, and what is the future of the arts in a democratic society.\r\n\r\nGet the book here:  https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/673724/authority-and-freedom-by-jed-perl/\r\n\r\nShow Notes:\r\n\r\nThe Bulwark: Daniel Lelchuk – “A Defense of Art for Art’s Sake”\r\nhttps://www.thebulwark.com/a-defense-of-art-for-arts-sake/\r\n\r\nFirst Things: Kyle Smith – “Great Art Can Be Propaganda”\r\nhttps://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2022/02/great-art-can-be-propaganda\r\n\r\nLaw & Liberty: Mark Judge – “Art Without Tradition is Dead”\r\nhttps://lawliberty.org/book-review/art-without-tradition-is-dead/\r\n\r\nLiterary Hub: Jed Perl – “How Artists Navigate the Interplay of Authority and Freedom”\r\nhttps://lithub.com/how-artists-navigate-the-interplay-of-authority-and-freedom/\r\n\r\nThe New Criterion: Michael Mosbacher – “Art versus anachronism”\r\nhttps://newcriterion.com/issues/2022/3/art-versus-anachronism\r\n\r\nThe New York Review of Books: John Banville – “The Imaginative Imperative”\r\nhttps://www.nybooks.com/articles/2022/04/21/the-imaginative-imperative-authority-and-freedom-jed-perl/\r\n\r\nThe New York Times: John Adams – “Does Art Have to Be Relevant?
