By Emilia Francis Strong Dilke

Book Overview

Art in the Modern State is a book written by Emilia Francis Strong Dilke in 1888. The book explores the relationship between art and the state during the 19th century. Dilke argues that art is not just a form of entertainment or decoration, but it has a significant role in shaping the political and social identity of a nation. She examines the role of the state in regulating and promoting art, particularly in France and England. Dilke also discusses the impact of industrialization on art and the emergence of new art forms such as photography and cinema. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the complex relationship between art and the state and its relevance in contemporary society. It is a valuable resource for art historians, political scientists, and anyone interested in the intersection of art and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
