There's a need to keep the history of an artform going, parallel with the new work that's being done.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that art is supposed to be ahead of the times.
Of late years (perhaps as a result of our political changes) art has borrowed from history more than ever.
Art history is less explosive than the rest of history, so it sinks faster into the pulverized regions of time.
Art history looks at art works and the people who have created them.
It's easier to make art for a society at a certain point in time with an understanding of what's going on.
What the art world has done, it has been constantly been pushing the boundaries about what art can be. It's like expanding its territory.
Artists rarely do the same thing over and over again. Art is about the new, doing things in a new way.
History speaks to artists. It changes the artist's thinking and is constantly reshaping it into different and unexpected images.
Sometimes art is ahead of revolution.
History develops, art stands still.
