Art As a Political Statement The Futurists and Dada Movements Erin White I want to start out this paper by saying that this has been the most difficult paper I’ve ever had to write. Politics do not interest me‚ and this may be because I’m a romantic artist who prefers to turn away from the violence of wars‚ or the bickering between government leaders.

History is often seen as a way of advancing to the next stage and improving the cultural values of the past. However‚ for T.S.

In his essay‚ “Tradition and the Individual Talent‚” his idea of tradition shows retrogression instead of progression. Eliot argues that “the whole literature of Europe from Homer” (49) is an archive of works affecting
