I believe the artist has an obligation to society.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always believed that the artiste is the one who has his pulse on the society and who, in many ways, represents the conscience of society in terms of engaging standards that we need to live by.
I think every artist should follow their vision, their hearts is what they need to reveal, not something that society is looking out for.
I think an artist's responsibility is more complex than people realize.
An artist must create. If she doesn't, she will become a menace to society.
I believe art has to take responsibility but it should not give up being art.
An artist's duty is rather to stay open-minded and in a state where he can receive information and inspiration. You always have to be ready for that little artistic Epiphany.
I don't think any one person, whether artist or not, has been given permission by anyone to put the responsibility of the way things are on anyone else.
If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
The artist is not responsible to any one. His social role is asocial... his only responsibility consists in an attitude to the work he does.
The responsibility of an artist is to be honest with themselves.
