Herbert Read, a prominent figure in 20th-century culture, was a radical avant-garde leader, anarchist revolutionary, and, by his death in 1968, a key figure in the British cultural establishment. To Hell with Culture provides an ideal overview of his thought, engaging with a broad spectrum of topics from revolutionary art to pornography. Read's sharp and provocative writing encourages readers to challenge assumptions, think critically, and question authority, regardless of political or cultural context. He argues that only by critically evaluating culture can we truly appreciate art, which, he believes, is the "unpolitical manifestation of the human spirit." In an era where authority and cultural values are increasingly questioned, Read offers a compelling and enlightening perspective.
