Write the argument essay over the relationship between art and humanity.
Oscar Wilde adhered to the tenants of
aestheticism, a
late 19th-century European arts movement which centered on the doctrine that
art exists for the sake of its beauty alone, and that it need serve no
political, didactic, or other purpose.
Chinua Achebe believes
that artistic and literary works must deal primarily with the problems of
society. He has said that "art is, and always was, at the service of
man" rather than an end in itself, accountable to no one. He believes that
"any good story, any good novel, should have a message, should have a
purpose."
Think about the
differing views of art. Then write an
essay in which you explain your position on the relationship between art and
humanity. Use appropriate evidence from
your reading, experience, or observations to support your argument.
