In such a time, “commitment” and “autonomy” are not in contradiction (as they are often said to be in aesthetic discourse in general), for the autonomy that interests Hirschhorn is not the “self-sufficiency” of art but “the autonomy of courage, the autonomy of assertion, the autonomy to authorize myself.”54 Over a century ago Gauguin asked, “Where do we come from?
