by Susan Sontag
First published 1966
Sontag's seminal essays shatter old notions of art and culture. She examines how modern perspectives warp our understanding of creativity. Sontag argues that interpretation obscures the raw power of art, and calls for a new critical approach that celebrates sensation over meaning. These groundbreaking pieces sparked debates that echo through today's discourse on aesthetics and expression.
