What is the role of an artist in society? This subject has any number of answers, but here's one I found as I was reading through an old issue of The Artist Magazine. It appeared in an interview with Henryk Fantazos, who emigrated from Poland to the U.S. in 1975. I think Fantazos sums it up well:
"Being a painter carries certain cultural responsibilities. Once you are given a voice, you should feel a responsibility not to pollute your culture, but rather to contribute something of value."
