ABSTRACT
Ludovici, author of a number of books on Nietzsche including Nietzsche and Art (London: Constable, 191 attributed what he saw to be the chaos in modern art to the rise of democracy. The salvation of art, he claimed, would come through the assertion of aristocratic forms, the expression of exceptional individuals. Consequently, though he welcomed the iconoclasm of the Futurist manifestos, he felt that the works of art themselves were deeply conventional and the epitome of ‘democratic’ art. Ludovici soon after became the art critic of the New Age.
