Ethical Responsibility of Art

in my opinion, aestheticism is the first experience the viewer or reader has with a finished piece of art. based on this, i would say that it is not necessary or even perfunctory for the creator of said art to concern themselves with the many facets of what popular opinion says is or isn't art, in that it is not the artists responsibility to create a world-view that people will adopt and implement as art is driven by impulse, and impulse is biological.

so, in my opinion, chinua achebe can shove it, because artists generally have control over a couple of rooms and some utensils. if someone wants to bitch about art, get them to turn the f*cking tv on and see what our politicians are creating.
