I don't believe that that is necessarily true. Most of the best art is inherently moving, at least to me.

If it's to be taken a philosophically, then the circumstance of time and place are irrelevant to the ideas. Of course I most always view art first as philosophical so I see how my argument doesn't apply with regional contexts. But it still holds if the exhibit is meant to be something greater.

What I'm saying though, is that people aren't totally oblivious. We may carry on with our lives but that's because we have to, freezing up does nothing and we don't all have the strength/chances/etc. to change things. I like to think that this causes a great deal of subconscious pain in the most people. Probably not, you're most likely right. I need sleep.
