Paragraph Style

 "It is also discussed that the “Mass Ornament” held a sort of detachment from the maker, since it was supposed to represent the whole of civilization and nature. Kracauer compares this to the idea of abstraction, and states that although there is a sort of separation between the creator and the actual piece of art, that it represents a sort of  ‘ornament’ of what the world should appear to be. There is a detachment from reason, which in many ways makes art during this time period not applicable to every member of society. Throughout, Kracauer pleas with his readers to use their intellectual and reasonable mind, and look through this idea of the “Mass Ornament”, and therefore understand what is really happening in their social and political world."
