Summary/Abstract: Considering requirements of system as such, an aesthetic sub-system should respect orders given by politicians, but politicians should also respect requirements of artists. There are some reductions, however, in their mutual support that generate oppositions in the global milieu. Relations between these two sub-systems should be subordinated to a general process of optimalization so that one sub-system could not dominate over the other, but live in a mutual feedback. The feedback between art and politics is something necessary for a global system of our civilization. That is why within the system approach the democratic system and the system of art depend somehow on one another.
