The portuguese translation of Behind the times: the decline and fall of twentieth-century avant-gardes. It is a very short essay about the failures of last century's artistic avant-gardes, mainly painting avant-gardes, in attaining their objective of creating a new art for a new century. Comparisons with more successful artistic enterprises such as photography (and photomontage), cinema, and industrial design (Bauhaus' kind of activities) are refered to. Given the scope of the subject, one is left with the impression this book should have been a lot longer. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Does modern art, as the art of the past always did, "express the times, " or is it a series of willful aberrations? Do we have any way of judging its success or failure?Bypassing art criticism and art theory, Britain's foremost social historian approaches the question from an entirely new angle. Professor Hobsbawm's thesis is that, unlike writers and composers, who have to come to terms with mass production and the technology of infinite repetition, painters still cling to the unique art-object, the product of the artist's own hands. The result has been a succession of increasingly desperate "avant-gardes, " attempts to find relevance and meaning that -- irrespective of the individual artist's talent -- are doomed to failure.Eric Hobsbawm is Emeritus Professor of Economics and Social History at the University of London. An unrepentant Marxist, he has succeeded in uniting original scholarship with popular appeal, and his most recent book, The Age of Extremes, is influential in shaping theway the century is seen by both professional historians and the wider educated public.
