When I posted that the production of art is strictly dictated by social changes, I also meant that all methods of production of its tools are crucial to its outlook and incisivity. This makes it impossible for the artist to completely detach him/herself from the rest of the world. Unless someone retires on top of a mountain and becomes a hermit, but total lack of interaction with other human beings doesn't make for any relevant or interesting art at all, unless you are totally detached from the modern world yourself.
