Ă„sthetische Theorie - Theodor W. Adorno

This picture was taken in 2008, at Parc de la Villette in Paris.

Adorno was a German philosopher. Aesthetic Theory (English title) was first published in German in 1970.

"The dual nature of artworks as autonomous structures and social phenomena results in oscillating criteria: Autonomous works provoke the verdict of social indifference and ultimately of being criminally reactionary; conversely, works that make socially univocal discursive judgments thereby negate art as well as themselves."
