The Death of Art evaluates the philosopher Theodor W. Adorno's ideas on music, visual arts, and literature and their relevance to today's mass culture. Adorno drew concepts and inspiration from fields such as history, historiography, sociology, musicology, anthropology, philosophy, and psychology, which he used in his assessments of art. His varied perspectives resulted in writings that offer shocking glimpses into larger cultural issues. By insisting on opposition and employing an expressionistic writing style, Adorno invited readers to question his authority and formulate their own views. In this work, author B.R. Sharma uses similar tactics to isolate, revisit, and criticize some of Adorno's key philosophies. The result is a comprehensive and clear overview of Adorno's cultural theories that unearths trends pointing to the eventual death of art.

The death of art
This book should come with a heavy prerequisite reading list including Proust, Melanie Klein, Baudelaire, and the entirety of Ulysses. As I realized I was a bit out of my depths with this text, I took to reading the sections of interest to my research, namely Freud and Nietzsche. The section on Freud took a disappointing focus on his erotic theory, and I admittedly fell asleep at one point. That's just never been of much interest to me... The section on Nietzsche focused on The Birth of Tragedy, which is of great interest to me. However, Bersani took everything I thought I understood in Birth of Tragedy and flipped it on its head. So, I'll be chewing on that for a while.... All in all, the book provided me with some good insight into the term "culture" and definitely got my brain working. I don't feel I can give the book a completely fair review since I read half of it at best, but it definitely helped me get my research gears turning again!
