Art Obstacles

Art merely reflects culture, it follows the different obstacles culture goes through, it does not guide it, art circulates around the different thoughts, ideas, and the new challenges that people go through during the different centuries. Art follows the cultures rather than guides it. When people begin to think of new ideas and inventions the art culture usually follows these new thoughts, altering their art. Art changes with the different centuries and during the different centuries ideas have grown, the different forms of art follows the growing ideas. With each new century different obstacles show up and many artists through their works show the different obstacles the people are faced with. Many different art movements had taken place in different times and that is why there are different types of painting genres such as realism, mannerism, baroque and the renaissance. Art follows the course of the new ways of the human ways; it does not guide art because the art movements tend to occur after people come up with the new ways of thinking.

Art revolves merely around the new thoughts of people and their surroundings.

Famous philosophers would come up with these new ideas and the art would fall into place after they came up with the new ideas of life. The art of a place is followed by what has recently happened. For instance, when the artist Raphael began to paint for the Renaissance movement he captured the visual of the Neo-Platonism idea of human grandeur. The thoughts about man during the different times were shown through the art. The Renaissance was the transition from the Medieval Ages to the modern ages and it showed through the art. The new ideas of man were shown through the way the artists painted, sculpted and drew

man.
The new ideas that a century generated were shown through the artist’s work. As different cultures became more modern the pieces of art became more modern. Art grows with the different cultures. The art follows the new ways and inventions of the people. Art begins to become more complex due to the new inventions and dynamics the artists are being able to work with. Art follows and does not guide because artists followed what the new philosophers thought, the artists followed in the direction that time and new ideas were taking it.
Through many different courses places and people go through, art goes through it as well. During many plaques, depressions, and when people were driven into hard forces of labor, many artists showed their hardships through their paintings. Realism was an art movement that showed the realistic side to humanity. French artist Gustave Courbet had painted how the people saw the poor and how they were treated, during this time many people found this controversial. He had painted the life of commoners and how they would have to start working at a young age and never stop until the day they died. Eduord Manet was another realist painter who painted pictures on the Civil War. These different art movements go along with the different difficulties cultures see.
Art is a mirror and it does not guide culture is simply follows culture. The artist based their ideas off of the new philosophers of their time and what the thoughts of man are and they express their opinions through their paintings. In art one may be able to see the difference through the time periods due to what is painted. Art can reflect many different historical events. Through expression of art people are capable of trying to understand what went on during these times, making it a mirror of culture.
