An Artist’s Role in His Society
_____?_____In the Baltimore Evening Sun article “The Artist,” H.L. Mencken states, “an artist of any dignity is against his country,” meaning that artists must always create provoking art. Yes, it is true that some art questions society but not all art is that way. Some artists do oppose their country; however, it is the love for his country that motivates the artist to point out its wrongs. Not only is opposition of his country the reason an artist makes art, but he also creates art to praise it. Artists create art for both reasons: to oppose his country and to glorify it.
