for many artists comes from their own culture. Sonia Sanchez, an American poet, perfectly encapsulates the importance that culture has in artwork when she stated that art “reacts to or reflects the culture it springs from.” Given that art is one of the defining features of a culture, it is no wonder that culture is a significant factor in influencing the art being created.
