Does politics condition art? 

How and why do dictatorships seek to establish rules to which art must adhere? What is the reason the United States has committed resources and tools to play a central role in the art world? These important questions are addressed by art critic Demetrio Paparoni in his book. It’s interesting because it sheds light on the often invisible relationships between art and power.
