Has Modernism Failed? is an explosive indictment of modern art. It is one of the few books by a serious art critic to confront the social situation of contemporary art, to describe the resonance between the differing styles, forms and attitudes of contemporary art and the moral and economic setting in which this art occurs. Gablik considers the role of the avant-garde and of the individual in the making and viewing of art in our modern world, and speaks with fervent intelligence about the state of our culture.
