In this speech to the ULCU Marxist Society, Alan Woods – Marxist author and editor of www.marxist.com – explores the question of art from a Marxist perspective, looking at the history of art from a materialist perspective – from the early art of cave drawings, through to the revolutionary paintings of Pablo Picasso. In doing so, Alan Woods touches on questions such as “what is art?” and discusses what would be possible in terms of art under a socialist society.
