Civilisation: A Personal View by Kenneth Clark, No. 13. Heroic Materialism

Focuses on the new age created by the rise of science and raises the question of the future of man. Highlights the writing of Engels, Marx, and Tolstoy, who pointed out the disadvantages and injustices of the new systems. Examines the art of Millet and Courbet, who painted ordinary people realistically; the Impressionists, who sought escape in beauty; and Van Gogh, who expressed the despair of the oppressed.
