Why do some people like powerful leaders fear Art and artists?

Personally I think Art is very important. How do you feel about it?
1. I think art is subjective so people without provenance info. As on cultural context of symbolism has no bases clear interpretation of meanings. And 2. Abstraction with no solid central focus seems more chaotic and is considered of less value or interest.3. Gods are censored, not art itself when new kings with different spiritual beliefs come into power. It is called Iconoclasm.
