Because the ruling classes want to preserve their privileged social position‚ their attitudes tend to be deeply conservative. One feature of art sponsored by power factions in society is that it tends to be highly ornate and decorative. Art serves as a way for these people to show off their material wealth and power. This takes the system of patronage‚ where wealthy patrons of art sponsor skilled artists and

The Art of Loving is a slim volume of only a little over a hundred pages yet it packs one hell of a punch. Written some fifty years ago‚ here is a more damning indictment of modern society than anything the existential crowd of Bertrand Russell‚ Albert Camus or Jean Paul Sartre could cook up.
