Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
This is the beginning of the 21st century, and there is widespread confusion inside and outside the academy that makes any attempt at understanding art become both an arduous, and often frustrating, task as necessary. This confusion to which I am referring does not determine the totality of the artistic work of our century, but it certainly slips into all artistic production: literary, musical, visual arts, dance and others, interfering and compromising the development and, therefore, the possible leaps that these arts could have.
Slipping is much more than merely a reflection, it is rather the result, the effect, on artistic production, of misunderstanding about art, the world, and contemporary man. It is then the particular expression of a general case that has been plaguing artists, art critics, and all the men and women for whom art is intended. Men and women who are prevented from drinking what art, both past and present, can offer because of this widespread misunderstanding and confusion.
The confusion results from two complementary visions that hover like ghosts and cloud the look: the view that argues that art must have political content to be interesting and the view that argues for avant-garde and unprecedented art at all costs.
