While reading “The Trouble with (the Term) Art,” written by Carolyn Dean in the summer of 2006, we are taken through an array of different scenarios that lead us to questions what art really is. Dean explores the idea that the word “art” is used far too often and too habitually, and that as we study the non-Western cultures we need to use much more discretion regarding what we call the different pieces of their culture. Throughout the essay, Dean supports her thesis that we too often categorize non-Western pieces as art by using different examples of how certain non-art pieces were deemed as art throughout the course of their history. Dean does this by using four key examples of how these ancient pieces are inappropriately called art to successfully support her thesis and avoid biases.

Whereas collectivism makes work a void that gnaws constantly on the soul like a dog with an prehistoric bone, individualism makes work to be an inspiration and fuel to the burning flames of the human spirit. Roark’s work in Monadnock Valley, although meant to be a financial disaster, became a testament to the power of individualism and a guiding light to those who do not understand their place in the world that praises a group over a single entity. As the Rand states, Roark’s work “[gave] someone the courage to face a lifetime” (Rand 530). Roark’s architecture is the North star guiding those who lack selfishness and thus happiness. Or even a call to action, willing the young man and myself to fight against the corruption that is taking place on the most spiritual level and to be lights of individualism and integrity

“Identity would seem to be arrived at by the way in which the person faces and uses his experiences” was said by James Baldwin. This quote helps convey the idea of identity in art. When someone creates a piece that holds or portrays an aspect of identity, the artwork may symbolically represent many experiences that occurred to the artist, whether that may be positive or negative. The work may also visually depict personal problems, for example the Post-Impressionist artist Vincent Van Gogh when he painted his tumult life. Van Gogh used not only his personal experiences of failing at so many careers and unfortunate events in his life, but also his use of alcohol, tobacco and his depression and his possible acute intermittent porphyria to create his swirling, colourful pieces.
