Description ▲
This is a remarkable work by Bataille. He leans heavily on Malraux's study of Goya, citing the triumph of form over content as the inaugural gesture of modernism. Manet attacks his subject matter; aesthetic negation does not imply indifference, but pure violence. All the modernist tropes are here and Bataille is as entertaining as ever.
