Lots of art is political. But what makes art good has nothing to do with its politics.
- refenestrator 6y agoIt has to do with truth. Great art and comedy both can illuminate truth in a way that prose and rhetoric can't touch, because they can approach it obliquely and not get hung up on the details. This get missed by the overly ideological, and you can tell because they produce bad art and no comedy.
- antihero 6y agoAbsolutely untrue. Art is something that can make you think and elicit emotion.
- threevox 6y agoExactly. Years later, the political parts seem parochial and irrelevant, whereas the artistic parts remain relevant.
