Page "Artistic revolution" Paragraph 1

The role of fine art has been to simultaneously express values of the current culture while also offering criticism, balance, or alternatives to any such values that are proving no longer useful.

So as times change, art changes.

If changes were abrupt they were deemed revolutions.

The best artists have predated society's changes due not to any prescIence, but because sensitive perceptivity is part of their ' talent ' of seeing.
