What is the intersection of art and truth?

There are facts and theories.  There is truth (based on fact) and truth (based on theories) and overt, strategic non-truths.

If art is supposed to bring us to our ideal and that ideal is linked to a core truth, then how can artists and/or organizations side-step truth in their delivery of the same?

Or is everything subjective (the book 1984 comes to mind as I write that for some reason).  Are there facts that are indisputable?

Lots of questions -- but it all comes together as art-making engages in a 21st century American community.
