Post 106: Purpose?

"I follow the Oscar Wilde theory here, that the artist has no obligation to any social cause. The artist has an obligation only to art. This business of reading artists the riot act is what the Nazis did and what the Stalinists did. You’re asking art to serve a propagandistic purpose. Art is not a branch of sociology. It’s not a branch of social improvement. Not a branch of the health sciences."


Dr. Camille Paglia
