So here's what Irene has contributed to my understanding of why Art has moved away from its role as a tool of bridging towards the Truth.
She explains it as Postmodern Anxiety when artists stand at the edge of the abyss with the accumulation of all that has been done behind them. Can they do more? Can they add to it? Is it even possible to add to this?
The two extremes ends of the continuum that maps the reactions to this anxiety would be at one end, embrace and celebrate as opposed to the other end, focus on the trivial (and bother on hedonism).
Thanks for the insight. Adds more depth and dimension to the topic. I will be analyzing and adding on from this viewpoint tomorrow.
