Question: Why have most cultures throughout history used artistic works as a form of representation?

Explanation: Because that is something most artists can relate to. There are plenty of ethnic artists who goes through the struggle of being a POC and where they came from. Artistic forms of representation allow cultures to merge real-world things with mysticism and beliefs, art allows the culture to imagine, create new images and forms of expression.

Artist works are often used to document or commemorate an event or important person. Art can convey both emotion and facts. I hope this helped.
