The interdependence between art and society, and the subsequent question of the function of art, belong to the old debate which has divided the artistic world into two broad factions. Radical writers and critics, sometimes labelled as 'revolutionary', think that the artistic universe is intimately connected with the socio-political context in which creativity takes place, and hence that art must play an active rôle in the society. The 'conservatives', while not necessarily opposing the active involvement of individual artists in politics, cleave to the view of art for its own sake and truth
