Artists and their way of living behind social reality
Can the artists of today live on their backs to social reality? A writer, a musician, a painter or a filmmaker, shouldn’t they use his art to report situations of social injustice? Should art be a critical thought tool? Should art serve so that the public can critically reflect on our world, or on the contrary it must be a mere entertainment and a way of "fleeing" of reality?
No, it can be considered that the artist themselves can currently write, express or paint about anything or at least it is what I see;The artist cannot turn his back on social reality, but if he influenceWe certainly know that each person has a different perception from others and a writer or painter can influence this that represents others … I do not know if I explain myself, but only this happens on certain topics … but if we take an example in generalAs the poverty of society all kinds of artist either musician, writer or filmmaker will give similar view points and will be intended for the denunciation of this type of thing.
Well, on the other hand, people’s critical thinking is mostly affected by people in the middle, that is, the power of upper class society will always affect those of lower class and these are influenced, since they areon the defensive of these others. There are clearly several ways to exploit art as we find in the question there are artists who are to criticize our world such as the Instagramer Bansky who reflects in their murals the precariousness of some situations in the world with respect to several societies, alsoThere is the other type of entertainment artists such as pop music singers or what is currently very popular that reggaeton is influential people sing music without any claim, they usually do so to distract their audience with alucrative end.
To conclude the 2 types of artists play an important role in today’s society in which we live;He who shows reality as is like social conflicts to have knowledge and communicate to people;as well as those who do it for entertainment and enjoyment of the public.
