#art, A Few Questions…

(Art Digital original «The Artist and the Muse*» by Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

I have some questions for all who wish to reply…

  1. Does art mix with politics?
  2. Should artists get involved with politics?
  3. Can art, (not that which is made for political propaganda) influence others politically or socially?
  4. If you thought that artists should not get involved with politics, can you tell me who should?
  5. If you thought that art does not mix with politics, can you tell me what does mix with politics and what mixes with art?

I look forward to your opinions, and please, always remember that the only thing we proffer is opinions, there are very few facts out there.

Cheers…

* This painting depicts the artist (I thought about doing a portrait of Francisco Goya) in a pensive mood, seemingly floating on the blue waters of a «creative» sea, while the «muse» looks from the side, taking on a rather sinister appearance…

  2. yo creo que todo es dinero
    la politica es un medio para sentarse en una poltrona y beneficiarse de la pasta

    1. Si, yo también lo creo así pues ya el altruismo no se encuentra entre aquellos que rigen los destinos de los estados. Creo que el estado no es necesario para el bienestar del pueblo…

    A very good question Francesc. Everybody has a right to their opinion whether they’re an artist or not. Whether they should though is another matter. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a musician, actor or painter, voicing your opinion in public is bound to have consequences. I would say as long as you don’t mind alienating half your potential audience/ customers, then that’s fine.

    1. I agree Malc, besides the fact that we all have an opinion and we are entitled to own it, I really think that those who are in the public field, somehow or other, have a responsibility to criticize as a part of your work… Alienating potential audience/customers, well, that comes with the territory. I try not to let the personal life of my favourite artists interfere with what I like about their work in art, music, dance, film, theatre… Thank you Malc and all the best.

    1. Absolutely. But should artists get involved with political movements or voice dissenting or consenting opinions?
