Art and Culture?

Do you think that art influences culture, or culture influences art, to a great extent? Which forms of art do you think most influence/reflect culture?

Art and Culture?
Culture influences art. I'm not sure how you could make a valid argument for the prior... since you base art off of something, somewhere, anywhere.
Reply:The culture is the existing relation between all the habits and the form of life of any community in a certain moment, where the art is included:So it is clear that the culture influences art and not reverse.


Then, we can say: Any forms of art could be most influence/reflect culture:The only influence that we can recognize it is that of developed cultures that intentionally they try to influence the least developed cultures for political motives

Reply:Very nice question :





I feel that culture influences the art to a great exten. Because culture is somewhat more related to attitudes, habits, traditions, thinking way, superstitions etc which are directly related to mind.





Art is a type of skill which is emerging from mind and practice . So i feel that culture influences the art to a great extent.





I think paintings and dance mostly reflects culture.
