Has it become stronger in death?


I Found Working on this project to be very interesting.  Friedrich Nietzsche is not someone that one would normally think about having to do anything with art, but strangely enough it turns out that he does in fact have quite an influence on art, and theories on art.  However, because he is someone that is not commonly associated with art, there is not a lot of reference to him in journals or articles.  This was not as much of a detriment to my research as one might think, because it lead me down a very interesting path.  What I found was that Nietzsche’s ideas have invaded our popular culture, and that culture has in many ways watered down and perverted the ideas.  However, it is thought this dissemination though popular culture that Nietzsche has entered into art directly.  Because his ideas are part of the common lexicon much of his work has ended up in many movies and music by accident.
