“Mammonart” challenges the great ones now honored by critical authority and asks to what extent they are servants of ruling-class prestige and instruments of ruling-class safety.
“Mammonart” asserts that mankind is today under the spell of utterly false conceptions of what art is and should be; of utterly vicious and perverted standards of beauty and dignity in all the arts.
“Mammonart” is a history of culture, and also a battle-cry.
E. HALDEMAN JULIUS telegraphs: “This is real constructive criticism. My heartiest congratulations.”
