Art is produced for the purpose of society and artists as members of society, create art according to the type of relations they have with the society. The relationship between art and society cannot be ignored, because art in itself is a social phenomenon: first, because the artist is a social being; second, because his work, however will be marked from his personal experience, would be easily perceived, but it will always act as a bridge, a link that connects the artist to the other members of the society; third, because a work of art always affects the people who perceive it, which again belong to the society and it contributes in making positive assertions to their ideas, goals or values. Thus we can say that the relationship between art and society might not always be mutual, sometimes they would try to find each other, sometimes they would try to avoid each other but they can't completely turn their backs on each other. In this paper, I will not only lay emphasis on the interrelation between art and society but will also try to find answer to questions like- 'Is art accorded important roles in a particular society or do they operate merely at the sidelines?', 'Does the nature of society impact the nature of art?' etc.
