Question

Why was regional art movement so important?

Answer 1

to keep that distict culture of that region alive.

and if you are part of the movement, make sure that you understand the essence and existence of the movement.

a lot of painters, writers, dancers, sculptors, musicians are not CULTURED ARTISTS.

i am not part of any regional art movement in my case i don't 'they' are not aware of what the movement is all about. what's the purpose or meaning.

final words, THE REAL regional art movement  SHOULD take you to another level of consciousness--AN INTEGRAL CONSCIOUSNESS that can only be achieved through going back to your roots.
