What Role Can Art Play? – Border Wall Scott Nicol
visual arts faculty at south texas college The art of the modern and postmodern eras sought to establish its autonomy, “art for art’s sake,” leaving behind the societal functions of the past. In our time, art is not supposed to do something, it is merely supposed to be. This has led to the segregation of fine art, relegating it to the rarified world of galleries and museums, as distinct from daily life and the “real world.”
