Book Synopsis
Explores abstraction as a keyword in aesthetic modernism and in critical thinking since Marx

Trade Review
"That abstraction is so abstract, Jeff Wallace's brilliant book shows us, is one of the conceptual difficulties at the heart of aesthetic theory since Marx. This study's response is to make abstraction newly visible, demonstrating, with astonishing clarity and agility, that abstraction is the force attaching the human to the inhuman." -Peter Boxall, University of Sussex
