The work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction, part 3

This is the third episode of the tutorial in which you’ll learn how to write like art theoretician Walter Benjamin. With just under an hour a week you will be able to write proper art theory in no-time. For this series, we’re using the 1935 essay “The work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction,” as translated by Andy Blunden.

Having previously written the introductory quote and the preface, we can finally start on the essay proper and its first chapter. Enjoy!
