Art War
Art War
Does anyone know of any artists that make art about war in countries other than where they live?
An art student friend wants to paint about the suffering of the children in Afghanistan to raise awareness about this. The art school says she can't because she has no personal experience of it and has to paint personal experiences.
Does anyone know of artists that deal with controversial issues that they only have acces to in the media and can't physically experience.
We feel the school is censoring politically charged material and want to challenge it with some artists already doing this sort of work, (If there are any)
Thanks.
Hi
I think if You have experienced something by yourself , for instance You live in Afghanistan and you see the Bombardment , see it and scare to death , If you lose your home , your parents you can explain it more better and in a realistic form through your poem , film or painting
but also we can see and explain our suffer or even our personal view about the hard life of those children in Afghanistan...( which I believe is not as real as Afghan people's pain) and it can be an original art in its own form .
in Iran , where I live, there are a lot of artists who depict these subjects.
In my country , the political view of the governments effects on artist's works. and some of these artists really believe on what they are telling to the world through their arts.
so we can find many poems , paintings and films about GAZA , Palestine and Afghanistan
some artists like Morteza Asadi, Morteza Heidari , Hassan Yaquti ( painter) , Seif allah Dad ( director)
There are a lots of typographical in this fields of work or graffiti
see these links
most of these links show some Iranian artistic works!

sorry if it was so long ...and sorry again about my English writing skill!
Bringing 'Art of War' to the stage
In the face of such a huge goal -- bringing together a group of disparate artists and commissioning them to express impressions of war -- there are bound to be bumps.

Nazi Theft of Art and the Holocaust
Every year Holocaust Memorial Day is marked on 27 January as an occasion for Jews to remind the world how their families were terrorized and butchered by the Nazis during the World War II. The brutality of the Nazis was not confined to the persecution of Jews but as a part of bigger conspiracy they also wanted to spoil the art of European countries.
They took possession of the artworks from prominent Jewish collectors and confiscated the galleries of the dealers. The common man too lost their art treasures while fleeing from home in a bid to save their life. Those who were left were sent to concentration camp by the Nazis. This went on from 1933 till the end of World War II. However most of the art works were recovered by the Allies right after they won the war by defeating Nazis of Germany but they are still unable to trace several priceless Jewish works of art.
Moreover while the war was still going on, several confiscated art works, by prominent artists were gladly taken by museums, no questions asked and others fell into dealers' hands and were sold around the world.
At present there are several authors and journalists who are trying to identify the missing Jewish art works with the sole aim of returning the priceless possessions to the families of their rightful owners. Thanks to persistent efforts of the authors who revealed the unscrupulous activities carried out by some of the museums and galleries in France, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium and Africa. These museums held works that had been seized from Jewish victims during the war by the Germans and never tried to find the rightful owners for thousands of unclaimed art works. And nowadays, families whose art collections were confiscated by the Nazis are regaining the priceless art that have been found hanging in museums all over the world. Auction houses too do not want to deal in art with unclear titles because their postwar sellers may have been thieves.
There are several books available in the market that provides comprehensive overviews of the Nazi theft of art and holocaust victims. A quick search online will display the name of the books, browse through the sites, read the reviews and choose the one that can truly engross you and capture your imagination completely.
