"Massacre in Korea" by Pablo Picasso

The beautiful painting above is “Massacre in Korea”, a 1951 expressionistic painting composed by Pablo Picasso which is seen as a criticism of American intervention in Korean conflict. Alongside with Guernica, The Charnel House (1944-45), War and Peace (1952), and Rape of the Sabine Women (1962–63) this is one of Picasso’s works that he composed to depicts the politics of his time.

We start this blog because we feel that artists need a place that will allow them to freely present social/political artworks that express their ideas and thoughts. Many of the commercial galleries and museums will not showcase political art, especially if it does not express popular views. Artists also tend to avoid handling politically charged subjects, they don’t want to risk losing a potential sale or exhibition by addressing topics that are too controversial or sensitive.

Our aim is to expose contemporary works of art which express the artists’ political and/or social stance and to evoke public discussions revolving their ideas. We hope that this blog will become a place where you can debate and explore great, meaningful art.

We welcome writers, artists and people with interest that wishes to post to ArtPolitica.
