ABSTRACT

Art is an act of man that has never died out in human history. Art played a big role when the human life of hunting and gathering settled down with agriculture and livestock. Art also played a major role in the life of mankind during the Industrial Revolution, when energy sources switched from animal power and natural power to machine of the steam engine. In the time of tremendous transformations of human life, art has made a big influence on people’s lives. The permanence of art can be seen in the principles of biology, which tells the truth that it dies out when it is useless. Then, what is the meaning of art in the era of rapid change now? This article is an attempt to examine that problem.
