artist has the liberty to be subtle and in-your-face at the same time. Take the Dadaist artists for example.

Art As a Political Statement The Futurists and Dada Movements Erin White I want to start out this paper by saying that this has been the most difficult paper I’ve ever had to write. Politics do not interest me‚ and this may be because I’m a romantic artist who prefers to turn away from the violence of wars‚ or the bickering between government leaders.

An idea can become a movement for social change or it could turn a whole nation against itself. Whether it’s the justification of slavery or the global expansion of Catholicism‚
