Politicians vs. Artists

Wright states that the artist and the politician stand at opposite ends of the poles in chapter 19. Half of Wright’s reason for this assertion is artists must be emotional and then publicize their emotion. Politicians must be impersonal and logical in life. Both are working for the betterment of mankind and end up struggling over how much help they offer the world. The artist can offer suggestions or other aspects for doing things while the politician sneers at this meager contribution. I happen to agree with Wright. I believe politicians only look at the facts of a country, trying to serve a majority. I believe the artist looks for any and all suffering and tries to embody this suffering in their work. Both occupations influence the other but both worlds never seem to collide.
