Aesthetic Revolutions and Twentieth-Century Avant-Garde Movements
This collection examines key aesthetic avant-garde art movements of the twentieth century and their relationships with revolutionary politics.

The contributors distinguish aesthetic avant-gardes -whose artists aim to transform society and the ways of sensing the world through political means-from the artistic avant-gardes, which focus on transforming representation.
In addition to analyzing Russian constructivsm, surrealism, and Situationist International, the contributors examine Italian futurism's model of integrating art with politics and life, the murals of revolutionary Mexico and Nicaragua, 1960s American art, and the Slovenian art collective NSK's construction
