"Arts task is to save the soul of mankind, and that anything less is a dithering while Rome burns. If the artist cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found."

@Jimmyswan2007 {Art} can be so much more then just painting something, but if it's a metaphor to Art in all it's glory, than i get the point.

[MultiSteini]

If an artist can't find the way, the way can not be found...

[McmullenEJ]

the artist does all bcuz hes the one pointing the power that all others follow behind and view. to b a great artist doesnt always mean countless time rehearsing, it also means harder than life understanding on what needs to b done for your art to actually manifest, and with that can go along much strong emotion that seems to defy the natural art groove. but one day when all the explosions and WTF bombs have gone off your left with a cache of artistic resource and a mind full of memory for backup

[Jimmyswan2007]

@KyleLiggett No, Art comes in different forms regardless of the time period, so the artist is usually the dictator of the kind of art it is and the style its painted in, he may have been influenced by the culture around him, but that is just another factor.

[JacobAPeck]

@KyleLiggett that transform culture?

[JacobAPeck]

@KyleLiggett good question. Is there art that emerges from domains of reality that are beyond culture? That encapsulate culture?

[jahstp]

thats not the truth or a lie just and opinion

[ajones123ful]

would anybody like to hear the truth about drug use? here is what nobody tells you about it: you might never die from drugs. you might never completely fracture your mind, as some do. but a real tragedy that WILL happen if you keep using is that one day, when you are 40 or 50, you wake up and realize you invested and spent your life on smoke and dreams and all that's left to you is the emptiness of a permenant immaturity, trying to live like a 16 yr old all your life. a shocking desolation.

[KyleLiggett]

He said culture is not your friend, isn't art an evolutionary process of culture?
