The Aristic Disenfranchisement of Reality

The aim of the paper is to show that the

work done by artists in the last century has led to a

systematic attempt at an artistic disenfranchisement

of reality. In other words, artists have tried to dismiss

reality through art, expanding the domain of art to

the point of making it ideally coincide with that of reality.

Finally, I will argue that this attempt (which

had disastrous outcomes) was far deeper and more

systematic than the other, much more famous attempt:

the philosophical disenfranchisement of art.
