Whether the arts expose the otherwise potential ideas and impulse of a society is a complex issue which is fraught with problem. To illustrate working out this issue, we can consider from some special realms of arts, such as painting, music, literate and architecture and so forth.
As to literature, the most important intention of literature is focus on depicting some information, such as experiences and attitudes, of contemporaneous individuals in a society as well as makes the descendants learn more about the impulse of the society. In fact, a lot of art works are came out by artistic representation setting in a special society, naturally, which include in so much real-life stuffs. Take Stowe whose works is Uncle Tom's cabin for example, which was aim at reflecting the practical tough life of Black slaves and expressing their hopes and thirst for freedom. At the end, the Civil War had broken out and slaves had won the support of Lincoln. It is unquestionable that this book had played a paramount role in American's history.
As to painting and music, it is also some other manners to express the sensation and feeling of people to the life, such as happiness, meditation, and distress and so forth, which is hidden in the heart of human being commonly. Actually, many great works are still famous nowadays. For many viewers, it is a symbol of loyalty and chastity of a Renaissance painting of a Madonna and child. It is struggle and fortitudinous spirit of Beethoven's symphony, it is a passion to life of Van Gogh's "sun flower". Artists has brought us the satisfaction on aesthetic and spiritual aspects by their intellect and emotion, meanwhile, art works has presented us with insight into what is eternal and universal.
Furthermore, architecture is an indispensable incarnation of art. That is to say, it also has expressed some primary ideology of contemporaneous period, and several great architectures have kept down even as the symbol of a country. For instance, Pyramid has emblematized Egypt, which every exit is point to the sky that means the awe to the deity and soul would go to the paradise. The Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable icons of the USA, in a common sense, represents liberty and escape from oppression. From the architectures, we could also feel various of hope and imagination of human beings.
To sum up, all sorts of artistic expressions which contain plenty sensations of people are serve to society, meanwhile, society will grow up with art and becoming more and more flourishing. |
