Contemporary art is obsessed with the politics of identity. Mystery, individuality and beauty are out; radical feminism, racial grievance and queer theory are in. Visit any contemporary gallery, museum or theatre, and chances are the art on offer will be principally concerned with race, gender, sexuality, power and privilege.The quest for truth, freedom and the sacred has been thrust aside to make room for identity politics.
The New Philistines takes readers deep inside a cultural scene where all manner of ugly, inept art is celebrated so long as it toes the ideological line, and where the glories The result is a drearily predictable culture and the narrowing of the space for creative self-expression and honest criticism, the things that draw most people to art in the first place.Sohrab Ahmari's book is a passionate cri de coeur against this state of affairs.
