Art is not boosterism, it's not propaganda, and it's not spin, but that's not something that art does, and nor has it historically ever done it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Art is more engaging that propaganda.
I don't think art is propaganda; it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it.
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 is maybe a subversive activity. There is a certain rebellion when you are an artist at heart, even if only in the art of living.
Any form of art is political if you make it that way.
I think all art is, by nature, intended to motivate society for change, and the only reason change doesn't happen is because within the target population, courage is lacking.
Art is about play and about transcendent meanings, not reducible to politics.
If you try to go beyond your interests just for the sake of pretensions or wealth, your art becomes less legitimate.
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
You should be able to be influenced by art no matter where it comes from.
