  Leon Trotsky: Communist Policy Toward Art (1923)
There are the elements of this art, there are hints and attempts at it, and, what is most important, there is the revolutionary man, who is forming the new generation in his own image and who is more and more in need of this art.
Revolutionary art which inevitably reflects all the contradictions of a revolutionary social system, should not be confused with socialist art for which no basis has as yet been made.
Art, therefore, will not suffer the lack of any such explosions of collective, nervous energy, and of such collective psychic impulses which make for the creation of new artistic tendencies and for changes in style.

The creative arts are a collection of disciplines whose principal purpose is in the output of material that is compelled by a personal drive and echoes or reflects a message, culture, ocasion, mood, or symbolism for the viewer to interpret or produce an emotion.
Art may be seen as being in the response/emotion of the viewer, as Tolstoy claims.
For Plato, art is a pursuit whose adherents are not to be trusted; given that their productions imitate the sensory world (itself an imitation of the divine world of forms) art necessarily is an imitation of an imitation, and thus is hopelessly far from the source of the truth.

 News Clippings 1923 - The Concord Art Association
Still, if there is an art centre, right on the main street, with picturesque swinging sign in front and with the hospitable door wide open, then the oil magnate from Oklahoma and the preceptress of a girls’ school in Alabama will alike be attracted to step in and see the pictures and sculptures.
The art centre was finished and formally opened a fortnight in advance of the installation in the gallery of the seventh annual exhibition of paintings and sculptures of the Concord Art Association, to be disclosed with a private view on Saturday evening, May 5.
In the permanent collection of the art centre, hung in the room to the left of the entrance, are two paintings by early Americans of high standing: Benjamin West’s “Sir William Young,” and the portrait of William Gowen by Edward Malbone, miniaturist.

 Book People: Re: Republishing post-1923 commercial art
The overwhelming majority of American commercial art prior to 1964 is now out of copyright, so there's a substantial corpus of material one can revive.
(And since 1996, many foreign works from 1923 onward have been retroactively relieved of both the renewal and the notice requirements.) It hasn't been that long since the US has gone from a legal regime where copyright was not the default to one in which copyright is the default.
But at least I'm glad to see from these commercial art reprint collections that at least some folks are making good use of works produced under the old regime.

 OTTOMAN ART (1299-1923)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In 1453, Osman's sixth successor, Mehmed II, conquered Istanbul making it the capital of the Ottoman Empire which was, by the middle of the 16th century, to extend as far as Asia and North Africa and incorporate much of southeastern Europe.
One of the most distinctive characteristics of Ottoman art from its earliest years is that patterns and styles designed by court-employed artists ofthe Ehli Hiref organization were employed by craftsmen and artisans in all the metalwork, ceramics, tiles, fabrics, and carpets that were made to order for the court.
During the so-called "Tulip Period" of the early 18th century, an effort was made to reverse this and recapture some of the magnificence of the 16th century.

She argues that Futurist, Dadaist, and Cubist artists emphasized materiality as the heart of their experimental approach to both visual and poetic forms of representation; by mid-century, however, the tenets of New Criticism and High Modernism had polarized the visual and the literary.
Few studies of avant-garde art and literature in the early twentieth century have acknowledged the degree to which typographic activity furthered debates about the very nature and function of the avant-garde.
