Red Aesthetics presents a fresh perspective on art and politics, delving into the revolutionary creations of Aleksandr Rodchenko, Bertolt Brecht, and Sergei Eisenstein during the interwar period. Todd Cronan explores how these three artists, through their photographs, plays, films, and writings, which revolve around class conflict, depart from contemporary left orthodoxies that are rooted in empathy. Challenging liberal pieties, Cronan argues, in line with Brecht's notion, that empathy is not the remedy for our issues but rather the root of them.
