Some people take it for granted that great artists can be more influential on or beneficial to society than politicians. However, contrary to this idea, it is clear that it is the politicians who actually change our life, not the artists even if they are enormously renowned by their fair works. The rationale behind this is that laws or policies bring actual change in our daily lives and common people usually do not have much interests in art. First of all, laws or policies made by politicians are the one which makes our real lives. In our daily life, all things were constructed or regulated by the rules. These rules can be updated or removed by the politicians whose duty are let people have better lifestyle. Beside, what artists do is on beyond real, those are located in another dimension which is not actually exist. Even if artists can evoke some social issues by their work, what brings the issues in our life must be done by the authorities. For example, Picasso painted how painful the Korean war was to make people be aware of the flaws of the war, but it was the politicians who stopped the war. In addition, common people prefer dealing with politics, not arts. Social medias such as television news or SNS usually focus on what politicians are doing or how they take their works, not what artists paint or what the paintings mean. It is because people want to know more about politics than field of the art. Even it is hard for people to enjoy fine art that it needs a lot of studying. For example, people are well aware of who is the president now and what he or she is doing these days but they are lack of information that who is the leader of the field of the art today or what are they painting right now. All things considered, the work of the politicians have much more power than those of the artists’. The reason is that people care about daily life made by the law and the policy and they are not familiar with the term of the art. |
