Reading recs on "Art and Revolution"?

So.. this book was.. fine, haha. I was very excited to get it, and the essays are good as far as they go, but not really the kind of thing I was hoping for. Especially given that Trotsky was so deeply involved with the surrealists and Mexican muralists.. was hoping for some slightly more profound stuff on the role of art in revolutionary politics. Any recommendations? Not limited to Trotsky, of course, but preferably within the tradition somewhat. Not opposed to suggestions of things that came from officially "stalinist" sources either, just because these are likely to be more common, still in print/translated, etc. And I imagine plenty of people had interesting thoughts on how to balance art and toeing the party line!
