Art and World View

[Imaginosis]

Can one seperate their World View from their artistic expression, based on the following scripture: "As a man thinks in his heart, so he is "(Proverb 23:7)?

 

[LostnFound]

I would imagine SOMEONE can, but I would think it would be tough. Any form of art is an expression of a person's inner self to some degree.

 

[Saint Melania]

Many artists express what their inner feelings are. Is this what you mean? Sometimes even the color of it expresses the inner person.

I dont know, I mean on the one hand if the artist has been choosen to do a commision then there has to be a degree of seperation because its an expresion of someone elses ideas, however even then the artist attaches a part of them to it otherwise it wouldnt be disctinctly them.

Francis Schaffer and Hans Rookmaaker stated that philosophical
paradigm shifts can be detected by studying art.

 

[Lenora56]

I think that sometimes people unintentionally show their true colors in day to day life, and some of that may spill into artistic expression. But the viewer looks through his own eyes, and mixes himself with what you've done.
