the mission of art
Art . . . expresses in its most elevated flight the most advanced social tendencies; it is a precursor and a revealer. Now, in order to know whether art is fulfilling its role as initiator, whether the artist is truly at the vanguard, it is necessary to know where Humanity is going, what the destiny of the Species is.... Art must by its constant action really itself to human destiny. The beautiful is the more perfect in the extent to which it reflects better the ideal of the good.
