Perspectives constantly evolve.
Nonetheless, a single perspective cannot be imposed upon reality, and there are such things as objective facts. As a means of expression, the arts can promote specious and absurd ideas and viewpoints as easily as do other process of communication, and, in point of fact, have their own traditions for doing so. One clean slate is as inconsequential as another, and the forces of history continue to have effects, with or without their being acknowledged by anyone in particular.
