Cultural cycles produce conditions in which art reflects various stages of conflict, resolution, and stasis.
While the progress of these cycles is apparent in the historical record, the aesthetic perspective of the individual artist remains unique, and may or may not speak to the issues such conflicts generate over the course of their existences.
Cultural forces are always dynamic, even as they give an impression of stability and quiet. The way of the artist is to perceive, experience, reflect, create, and live the real and the possible.
