Purpose of Art

My views of art are still pretty much the same. It is a form of expression that is used to display a message to its viewers. Maus uses comic strip pictures to display feelings that he holds about the Holocaust and the events that occurred in Auschwitz. There is no obligation to improve the human condition, however it can express ideas that, if taken seriously, can lead to improvements in life or the way things are carried out. Art can be interpereted differently by everyone and it all depends on how or what you believe the artist is trying convey through their art.
