First Cup of Coffee – The Connection Between Fantasy Fiction and Politics 10/17/25


“Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.” – Pablo Picasso said and then painted Guerica in response to the 1937 bombing of the Basque town of Guernica by Nazi and Fascist forces. “The artist’s role is not to look away.” – Akira Kurosawa, Japanese filmmaker once said and then directed High and Low, a film about the moral dilemmas of a capitalist society and the consequences.
“Art holds up the mirror to nature.” – William Shakespeare, Hamlet (Act 3, Scene 2) a sentiment similar to Aristotle, who once said “Art imitates life.” The duty and role of an artist in society is not always to simply entertain.
