Miscellaneous
Humans have done terrible things to each other and specific instances of injustice have spurred many artists to protest through their artwork. Only for the last two hundred years or so has art been used to expose the horrors of war. As art became viewed as the individual expression of the artist rather than the patron (clie nt), artwork was produced that expressed the anger and disbelief felt by artists in the face of terrible events. In addition, war is not the only injustice in the world. Some artists use their work to fight for the rights of those who are economically and politically oppressed.
