Art historian TJ Clark and art critic Michael Fried in the past occupied opposing positions. Clark was the eminent advocate of the social history of art, based on a Marxist approach which saw art as produced in a socio-economic context. Fried, on the other hand, was an arch-Modernist, believing art to be about itself alone, separate from social meaning. Now, however, the two have moved closer. Clark accepts the canonical greatness of Pollock's work and Fried no longer claims that art functions only in an `optical' way.
