Art should offend people because art should challenge people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Art is so subjective, and people can react however they want.
So at a time in which the media give the public everything it wants and desires, maybe art should adopt a much more aggressive attitude towards the public. I myself am very much inclined to take this position.
Art never harms itself by keeping aloof from the social problems of the day: rather, by so doing, it more completely realises for us that which we desire.
Art is for anyone. It just isn't for everyone. Still, over the past decade, its audience has hugely grown, and that's irked those outside the art world, who get irritated at things like incomprehensibility or money.
Art is a way to express yourself and through that you can escape a bad situation.
Art to me is a humanitarian act and I believe that there is a responsibility that art should somehow be able to effect mankind, to make the word a better place.
Art is not a thing; it is a way.
People shouldn't trust artists and they shouldn't trust art. Part of the fun of art is that it invites you to interpret it.
Art must unquestionably have a social value; that is, as a potential means of communication it must be addressed, and in comprehensible terms, to the understanding of mankind.
I mean, art for art's sake is ridiculous. Art is for the sake of one's needs.
