It appears that <\/span>the Orlando Museum of Art was duped<\/span><\/a>. In 2022, they hosted an exhibition of the work of the late artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Basquiat, who died in 1988, was a New York graffiti artist and <\/span>Neo-expressionist painter. To say his work was world-renowned and carried a hefty price tag would be an understatement. In 2017, his piece <\/span>Untitled <\/span><\/i>sold at auction for $110.5 million<\/span><\/a>, making it the most expensive piece ever sold by an American artist. The 2022 exhibit titled Heroes and Monsters was supposed to include unseen examples of Basquiat\u2019s work. Unfortunately, the paintings were fake. The FBI Art Crime Team seized 25 art pieces, and the museum director was fired. The kerfuffle left the museum\u2019s reputation in such a tattered state that a year later, they decided to sue the exhibit\u2019s sponsors in hopes of recovering not only money spent on the event but also the shards of their legacy. The fallout from this story opens the door for us to consider art from a sociological perspective. What is art?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"An<\/p>\n

From a sociological perspective, art is closely tied to <\/span>culture<\/b>, <\/span>a society\u2019s socially learned and shared ideas, behaviors, and material components.<\/span><\/i> What is art in one culture is not necessarily seen as art in another culture. The indigenous people of Papua New Guinea may not consider <\/span> Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s Mona Lisa<\/span><\/a> art, even though millions of other people visit it each year.<\/span><\/p>\n

For our purposes, there are two categories under the rubric of culture. First, there is <\/span>material culture<\/b>, <\/span>the physical artifacts that represent components of society<\/span><\/i>. Material culture consists of those things made by humans you can physically touch. This can include a painting, a quilt, a necklace, or a piece of pottery. If a person made it and you can physically touch it, it is material culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sufi<\/p>\n

On the other hand, <\/span>nonmaterial culture<\/b> consists of <\/span>ideas and symbols representing components of society.<\/span><\/i> Language and customs fall into this category. The overarching feature of nonmaterial culture is that humans created it, but you cannot physically touch it. That poetry competition you attended last week and the Sufi Whirling Dervishes\u2019 hypnotic spin are nonmaterial culture forms. Interestingly, nonmaterial culture often has its material counterpart. You can\u2019t touch spoken poetry, but you can touch the paper it is written on. While you can\u2019t touch the belief and mysticism of the Whirling Dervish, you can (but shouldn\u2019t!) touch their tall felt hat known as a \u201csikke.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The art of Basquiat discussed above is <\/span>associated with the dominant and elite members of society, <\/span><\/i>also known as<\/span> high culture.<\/b> High culture comprises the goods, products, and services patronized by the upper-class members of society. Aspects of high culture are typically out of reach for the average citizen in society. By comparison, average citizens can usually afford <\/span>popular culture<\/b>, cultural characteristics the masses adopted, imitated, and idolized.<\/span><\/i> This includes goods, products, and services patronized by society\u2019s middle and lower classes.<\/span> Instead of Basquiat\u2019s original work of art, those who can only afford popular culture might buy a print or poster of his work. <\/span>Interestingly, people who patronize high culture also engage in popular culture. For example, even though they can afford to attend the opera, they also go to the movies. Rarely is the reverse true because people who can only afford popular culture do not have the means to afford high culture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Art is categorized into specific genres, whose followers make up <\/span>subcultures<\/b>, a distinct set of cultural characteristics shared by a minority of people in society.<\/span><\/i> Examples of subcultures in the art world include Cubism, Impressionism, and the aforementioned <\/span>Neo-expressionism, just to name a few. Followers of the various subcultures are often interested in the symbolic nature of art. For them, <\/span>symbols<\/b> are <\/span>ideas or objects that have a shared meaning to groups of people<\/span><\/i>. Symbols of beauty, spirituality, power, and death are prevalent in works of art.<\/span><\/p>\n

On occasion, members of society may classify certain forms of art as <\/span>taboo<\/b> because they violate <\/span>formal norms that cause revulsion and the most severe social sanctions<\/span><\/i>. Examples include<\/span> the display of the United States flag on the floor<\/span><\/a> or images of religious figures that are prohibited from depiction, like <\/span>Islam\u2019s Prophet Mohammed.<\/span><\/a> In these instances, <\/span>values<\/b>, <\/span>collective ideas about what is desirable and undesirable in society<\/span><\/i>, are what determine what is taboo and how people respond.<\/span><\/p>\n

From a sociological perspective, art is based on cultural identities, social relationships, beliefs, and values. These vary by society and are also unique to the individual members of society. Art is relative to time, place, and culture. So, in the end, what is art?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
