Music Matters

24 April 2005

Does Art Gain from War?

The Second World War produced a veritable explosion in cultural demand and a surge of important new works. In times of fear and bitter loss, people turned inward spiritually and sought the consolations of art. The same happened in the First World War and in many other conflicts, but since then has this changed?

Vietnam yielded a protest movement but no lasting works of art. Does war no longer move us the way it did? And have we become immune to mass feeling when violence is a factor of daily life?

18:30
