Ayn Rand on the Purpose of Art

[@TH3F4LC0Nx]

Romanticism. Art should show not how life is, or not only, but how life can and ought to be. One of the biggest ways her books impacted me is this.

Thank you for posting. Amazingly lucid answer.

Very important video.

That's the best compliment that I can give her: that Atlas Shrugged was an intense page-turner. I was fortunate that no one told me to read that book or that it was good. No one I knew had even heard of her. It was a completely personal experience, and that first reading can never be repeated. It was *mine* . And it absolutely was an objectification of my values, even though I couldn't put that into words at the time. A priceless gift from the greatest mind, and artist, in history.

atlas had the same effect on me, and now i see art immitating life for the US is at the peril of becoming a comunist country

She goes into detail about the importance of art in her great book 'The Romantic Manifesto'. (re-reading now)

Much of what is considered art is justified for political purposes. Which is propaganda, not art. Political “art” is for making people adopt a moral code, not an end in itself.

[@Supremor-tj9dv]

George Orwell wrote a book titled All Art is Propaganda.

Agree😂

[@majimasmajimemes1156]

Ayn Rand is the last person to ask about art, especially cause her work is void of it.

[@andreasplosky8516]

Aaah, you have an opinion. Good for you.

[@emocuta]

Not at all

[@raystargazer7468]

[@JamesKhan-j6v]

Ayn rand is waste

[@andreasplosky8516]

Very insightful. It is important to have an opinion.
