Nina is great …
Nina is great because she did not shy away from reflecting her times out of fear or incompetence. I agree that great art reflects the time but the point I am trying to make is that can the artist be given the consensus to change the times without sacrificing the authenticity of the masterpiece. To give an example, is writer on slavery be allowed to make a political statement about the inhumane conditions of slavery, without confusing the boundaries between art and politics.

ultimately Jesus …
ultimately Jesus Christ will save the world not because he is God incarnate but because he inspired the divine incarnation in many beautiful souls like Nina Simone; I do not want to be saved by a perfect God-man i want to be saved by imperfect people aspiring to do their duty; and I think that the best that can be said of any of us is that we aided & abetted the salvation of our brothers & sisters; just listening to this woman’s haunting voice makes me feel the rain of salvation pour down.

It is not a “duty” it just happens. Every inch of great art reflects the time when it was done but unlike fashion or trends it is always relevant and international.

Can the artist’s duty be just to reflect the times? Is the artist allowed to change the times?

they say she was ‘bi-polar’ so im sure she knew but at times could probably give a damn. that plus some of the things she had experienced like not getting into the curtis institute and not getting royalties for work she had done etc etc probably made her take things with a grain of salt
