A Dialogue on Art
A Dialogue on Art
"If an artist is not politically committed, his art is not relevant, why doctor?"
"Why are you confusing me in this discussion?"
"Seriously!"
"Whether an artist believes in any political ideology or becomes a member of any political party is his personal decision, I do not consider it a condition for his art to be relevant, but one thing is certain, high literature and art, 20th century. I, in particular, was born out of some kind of protest spirit, whether this protest was merely political or social is not easy to decide, but the spirit of protest was very powerful in the artist's mind, whatever the political system. It is the important responsibility of the artist to raise his voice against oppression.
This dialogue is from the movie 'Party' made in 1984, the scene is like that, there is a discussion between two guests at a dinner whether a literary work should be evaluated only on a literary scale or should also be seen from that work of art. What can be improved in politics and society. Avinash (Om Puri) asks this question to the doctor (Amrish Puri) in response to which this dialogue follows. There are such good acting and such wonderful dialogues that one gets up, but for now this film is not our subject, the subject is the question that is raised in this dialogue, and also the question of a writer who creates literature. Does and the ideas that he propagates through his art, is he himself bound to follow those ideas?
A few days ago, these two questions were discussed in a gathering of friends, some friends thought that a poet, writer, or creator should be separated from his self and judged only in the light of his art, because it is possible that someone is extremely A good artist or painter, and when he creates a piece of art, people remember Michelangelo, but in his personal life, he is loud, foul-mouthed and talkative like an ordinary person. Should the generated image be rejected? In the same way, if a poet warms the hearts of people with his words, teaches them to stand up against oppression and says, "There is no murderer in the world like a hypocrite, one who tolerates oppression and does not rebel", but in a personal capacity, the region If you are afraid of Thanidar, should you throw his words in the trash because of this human weakness?
