As the Estonian President and author Lennart Meri put it in his exquisite way: "Man is born to a country by the name of culture".
Another superb formulation of culture's role in the community comes from the late Finnish author Erno Paasilinna: "No man exists without his background, nor anybody without his shadow." Culture is the setting of which and into which we all are born.
It is the artist's role to ask human questions regarding our societal existence, based on his or her own individual experiences and views -- to make an individual inventory, as it were, of the societal cultural background.

Supporters of the spontaneous creativity repeated the aphorism by author Erno Paasilinna that "the only truly skilled are the ones whose skills are self-taught.
Aptly put, but in reality people, and modern folk artists in particular, are self-trained in some fields and trained in others.
Another Paasilinna aphorism is more suitable for this context: "the public taste will remain bad for as long as it is always fed in the same way." Viewers of contemporary folk art are good judges of public taste; they have much experience with it.
