131"The arts (painting, music, literature, etc.) reveal the otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of a society."
I strongly agree with the speaker’s assertion that the arts reveal the otherwise hidden thoughts and urges of a society. Although one may argue that some artists created their arts for individual purpose at first, I believe they more or less expressed certain feelings in their work which inevitably related with the society.
Consider first about Bach’s music, which is known as a kind of religious music. Obviously, as a protestant, he consistently mixed his worship of Christian god into his music. To some extent, his fame even contributes to this kind of pious music. He believes that music is a way he communicates with god. However, hasn’t the music expressed the unique thought of Bach own? Was his sacred music created only for god? In fact, Bach enjoys more fame in a period of none-religious time than ever before. His music is not only about religion, but more about a spirit that a whole society share, that is a pity for disaster, the desire for peace and the wish for better life. Even in his music, there is a strong prevailing German style. A dark, melancholy feeling only Germany could understand at that period. The Well-Tempered Clavier, for instance, shows the especially careful German way of thinking. So I believe, his music, just like any other art forms, conveys the secret ideas and impulses of a society.
And of course Bach is not alone. Turning a look into China, we can also find lots of examples to prove the assertion. Chinese poems in ancient time are known for the beauty of rhythm and the word. Poets like to depict fabulous of nature. But unlike the florid outlook, the poems always conceal a deeper feeling. Famous poets in China are usually those who failed to realize his political ambition, thus writing poem as a way to let off his sadness. One may say that it’s those poets’ personal hidden ideas. However, looking at all those poets as a whole, we can find the thoughts are coincidentally similar to each other. It’s not a particular form, but a common hidden power against the feudal society and unfairness.
The trend of using art to express feeling transcend until now. In more recent form of Animation also contain the impulses of a society. Disney is not only an image of a lovely mouse, but a smart mouse which can control the thoughts of certain groups of people in a society. “Bambi”enjoys its reputation in World War Two attributes to the undeniable ploy of society’s pulse. The deer represents somehow freedom and peace, a common wish of all the people around the world. And peace, of course, is a permanent urge of the society. Nowadays, animation could touch nearly every field, no matter science fantasy, history maze, or even climate change; it shows us what we can not feel in real life and highlights the impulses of a society.
In sum, the expression of art of hidden idea and urges of society filled in every aspect of society, and I believe, it will continue to show these function in the future. |
