Unit 3 Presentation: Art as Moralistic, Protest, and Propaganda. “Whenever a culture or nation is under the sway of a dominant view, whether moral or religious or political, the tendency of the rulers of that nation is to promote it at all costs, and one of the casualties in the process is art—at any rate that great body of art that is either indifferent or hostile to the reigning dogma.”
As a free form of expression, art is often seen as a way for a culture to promote moral values. Art has also been seen as a threat to dominating regimes unless it can be wielded as propaganda. It can be used to promote the dominant culture, or it can be created in an attempt to defy it.
