Starting from an article titled \"And art?\", which appeared in the center's final bulletin before its closure, it explores the ideas of thinkers such as Tolstoy, Kropotkin, or Proudhon regarding the role of art in the construction of a free and egalitarian society. A work that invites reflection on the transformative potential of artistic creation in education and collective life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting from the absence of an art manual in the Modern School's library, the author Priscila Fernandes investigates the content of the final article of its bulletin, titled precisely \"And art?\". The text is riddled with references to other authors who raise essential questions about the function of art and artists in the formation of a more just society. Thus, the book is configured as a proposal of what that lost manual could have been, gathering the reflections of key figures of libertarian and critical thought, such as Leo Tolstoy, Peter Kropotkin, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Émile Zola, Paul Robin, and Joan Montseny. Through their texts, the link between aesthetics, ethics, and politics is examined, questioning the place of art in education and its capacity to drive social change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSocial and political function of art in the construction of an egalitarian society.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between art, education, and freedom in the thought of the Modern School.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of the artist as an agent of social transformation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of traditional artistic institutions and a proposal for an accessible and committed art.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRevision of the aesthetic ideas of anarchist and progressive thinkers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in art theory, aesthetics, and its political dimension, as well as those who study the history of libertarian thought, alternative pedagogy, and the figure of Francisco Ferrer Guardia.
