I’ve seen many many people say art is purely subjective. That it’s just a type of personal entertainment. That’s nonsense I think, art is a critical part of how we understand and live life. Take stories. In simpler times, when empires conquered the world, stories were great tales of conquest and glory. In our time, when life is much more complex, a new type of story emerged. The thriller, the whodunit. The ‘what happened?’ story. Perfectly reflecting the shift to a life that is more complex, where we genuinely don’t know what’s happening much of the time.
