    Can social, political, or economic conditions alter the nature and meaning of art?

    Art is a reflection of the times we live in.It is an expression of how we view ourselves and the world around us.
    I don't know that anything can alter the meaning of art as art is simply expression.
    People will always find ways to express their humanity.It goes back to cave drawings.

    Hi, shaybea!

    Yes, those factors can alter the nature and meaning of art. artlady gave you an excellent response above!

    A lot of what you ask about is a matter of individual as well as collective definition though, and I do hope that you return here so that we can discuss this together.

    Thanks!
