Historically, art directs attention and reflects cultural direction.
Dictators and tyrants have always punished artists with whom they were in contention, but it is only since the twentieth century that such base, evil impulses have become pervasive in a general culture overseen by internationalist media promoting global conformity of thought.
And thus it is that the artist rebels against a new dark age.
