Lifschitz's collection of Marx and Engels's views on aesthetics - Marx and Engels on Art was published in 1933 (also an extended edition of 1938) as the first anthology of its kind.
In 1926-1940, Lifschitz also published a very large number of works dedicated to such diverse authorities as Giambattista Vico, Johann Joachim Winckelmann, Francesco Guicciardini, Balzac, Hegel, and Pushkin.
