    If the topic is what I understand it to be, this idea seeks to analyze art as a reflection of reality.  In this setting, art is never created in an isolated vacuum.  Rather, art and its creation are controlled by political realities as well as a sense of the contingencies that surround both art and artist.  Understanding this allows one to grasp that politics and social reality helps to shape art and its creation.  The artist must strive to understand how this plays a role in his/ her work as well as the implications of it.  Art for political lifesake helps to underscore the reality that political and social contingency is the foundation upon which our perceptions of ourselves and our world are formed.
