| Summary | "Che cosa è l'arte?" by Leo Tolstoy is a critical examination of the concept and purpose of art, written in the early 20th century. In this work, Tolstoy explores the moral implications of art and denounces contemporary artistic practices that prioritize aesthetic pleasure over genuine moral and social value. He challenges the notion of "art for art's sake," arguing instead for an art that elevates humanity and ultimately serves a greater good. The opening of the book presents a poignant overview of Tolstoy's perspective on art and its societal roles. He highlights the extensive resources devoted to artistic endeavors, questioning whether such efforts truly serve the community or if they merely perpetuate a cycle of superficial entertainment. Through vivid descriptions of a theater production plagued by chaos and insincerity, Tolstoy underscores the disconnect between the artistry aimed at pleasing the elite and the alienation experienced by the broader populace. He sets the stage for a deeper inquiry into what constitutes true art, advocating for a redefinition that aligns with moral and humanistic ideals. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
