There are also contemporary and historical works and currents of thought that can be characterized in this way.

Art and Anarchy

Anarchism nurtures the individual’s development whether it be physically, politically, spiritually, mentally, creatively…etc. The true anarchist goes through life developing his/her idea of himself/herself and this search for identity manifests itself in many different forms. The only way for the anarchist to discover his/her identity is to experience and distinguish his/her own individuality within the rest of society. The quest for ultimate liberation and knowledge of self is what makes anarchy appealing. The process by which the individual attains that liberation distinguishes the individual’s journey for liberation.

The quintessential person who first identified this expression allowed by anarchy through art was Herbert Reed, a very important English art critic of the late 20th century. Francisco de Goya.
