Abstract

The view is still widespread that a great artist, by his very nature, should be especially sensitive to issues of a social nature and that his worldview should be at least at the level of the progressive aspirations of society. However, an analysis of the facts, even a superficial one, leads to a different conclusion. The author lists the great artists of the word of different times and proves that they were not people with a broad social outlook, even moremany of them differed in this respect by extreme backwardness from their contemporary society; on the other hand, there is not a single outstanding artist who would be at the same time an active political or public figure, or at least have a view corresponding to such activity.
