Architect Says Artist Must Create Culture for Society
The artist's job is to create the culture for the society, said James M. Hunter, second vice president of the American Institute of Architects.
Mr. Hunter spoke at a University Lecture Friday. His topic was "The Position of the Professional Artist in Today's Society."
"The artist must be able to communicate to the observer the same emotion that he (the artist) felt when he created the work," Mr. Hunter said.
"Otherwise, no art exists, except as a part of the artist's ego," he added.
MR. HUNTER CITED Norman Rockwell as an example of an artist who communicates well.
"What Rockwell has to say may be often maudlin and sentimental but he is easily understood by nearly everyone," Mr. Hunter commented.
Mr. Hunter said that the United States has a very strong civilization, but a weak culture. He defined civilization as "the leverage man uses to gain advantage over nature" and culture as "the spiritual value that makes civilization worthwhile."
China, Mr. Hunter said, is a country with a low quality civilization. However, he continued, the Chinese civilization has a great meaning to the Chinese people and as a result, China has a culture of a very high quality.
A BALANCE OF civilization and culture can be found Florence, Italy, he said.
Mr. Hunter added that it is possible for the aesthetics of a society to be aborted to something barbaric. He mentioned the bullfighting of Spain and the American interest in cars and speedboats as examples.
Mr. Hunter lamented the loss of humor in modern art.
"The product of our art, whether sculpture, architecture, or any other type, has become tense," he said.
