At 12:57am on 9th August 2008, Mary Curran Bitner said…: A divergent opinion:
What is art? What is its purpose? Is art meant shock or is art meant to stimulate?

What is meant to stimulate? Society, the Spiritual, Politics? Or is meant to stimulate Thought? Or is it meant to stimulate awareness of our place in a universe of divergent happenings?

I think that art is meant to do all these things. Artists copying one another to gain access to the celebrity or riches of a Picasso is not going to happen if artists keep following those goals.

Artists have to take risks to become entirely individual and unique. You have to define yourself and what you want to say. Politics is ridiculous and irrevelant. Here today and gone tomorrow!! Shock might work for a short period of time. What works is the true soul message that you want to send about you and today. Your own very personal beliefs as you see them in the now.
To put it simply, TRUTH!
