Q Identity has played a large role in this lesson—the anonymous sculptors of the Middle Ages, the art of African Americans, and the big prices paid for big-name artists at auction. Is it important for us to know who made things? Does it shape or modify our expectations when we know the background of the artist who has created something? In some fashion, is all art autobiographical or should art explore experiences that are universal? Can we, or should we, separate the art from the artist? Your post should be two to three (well-developed) paragraphs long.
