Egyptian Art speaks to us about their deep love for life and their religious beliefs. It glorifies nature in all it's forms. However the main focus is on the Gods and Pharaoh,who was a living God. The belief in afterlife is all present and is the very reason for most of the art which has found.

The Kushite. As the New Egyptian Kingdom declined the power of Kush began to strengthen again. The Kushites admired the Egyptian culture. They started using hieroglyphics and egyptian inspired art. So when the government brokedown and fell prey to invaders the Kushite fought on behalf of the Egyptian empire to protect the art, temples, and cities of Egypt.

Both, I think.
To ancient Egyptians, art was important. They saw that it reflected the endurance and solid formation of ancient Egyptian culture. They believed that works of art were essential in the smooth functioning of that society and the world. Not only did they have religious art, but they had daily art too! Let's just say that the Egyptian art was the backbone of society.
Can You Tell?
Art tells a lot about the artist, and a the thing it's describing (if it is). Yes, you can tell about a culture from art and if you really pay attention to it you can learn more than you thought. Also, if there is one, always read the caption-it tells about the picture and sometimes even the culture, too.
