Mikhail Lifshitz is a major forgotten figure in the tradition of Marxist philosophy and art history. The Crisis of Ugliness(1968), published here in English for the first time, is a compact broadside against modernism in the visual arts that resists the dogmatic complacencies of Stalinist aesthetics.
