Some interesting imagery (?) How does culture manifest itself in art? Is it a circular process?

Friedrich Nietzsche, in his seminal piece, On the Genealogy of Morals: A polemical Tract, proclaimed that Knowledge needs many eyes. In our quest for the elusive concepts of Knowledge and Truth, we will need many eyes. To be exact, 90 pairs of eyes. This blog will provide you with a forum outside the four walls of the classroom to share, comment, critique, and engage critically with the TOK course.
Which TOK aims do you think the course has addressed well so far?

Puppy,
Could you explain a little about what you mean by a "circular process" here?
By circular I was suggesting the possibility that art is informed by the cultural environment which itself informs artists and their work.
I suspect that the answer must be that such a process does indeed occur. But if so, what would be the implications of this?
Perhaps this would allow us to treat works of art as evidence that we could use to infer knowledge about vanished cultures of the past. But maybe that would depend in turn on our understanding of art - do artists attempt to reflect their environment or, for example, distort it in ways that make people sit up and think? If the latter, how would we as outsiders know how to recognize this distortion?
