artistes and politicians at the opposite poles

Wright’s theory has some truth on how artistes and politicians stand at opposite poles. Artists, I feel, see the world in a abstract way and analyze thing in a way others can not see. The politicians are seen as people who say to want to change thing but it is more for personal gain. Though there are those people like FDR and Jon Edwards that do want to make the change and have and are doing it for the good and can see the world like an artiste. It is toughs people that make the biggest difference in the world. For the most part Wright is right in most of his thinking I find my self on the side of the politicians and cannot always see a meaning in art but for some forms of art I find it necessary in the way they say there message and the way they express them selves.

Good blog. Artists do see the world in an abstract way and I hadn't thought of it like that. I said that they make art so that people can focus on their topic for a longer time period. Also how you said politicians say things for personal gain is very true. No a days thats not as true because of how close people pay attention. But back then yes the politicians could be incredibly selfish.
