Abstract
Increasingly, art – especially political artistic expression – has left formal artistic spaces and entered into the unregulated public realm. Relying upon historical, empirical examples, this paper examines critically the manner in which artists have traditionally attempted to navigate their creative roles in the context of real political circumstances and ideologies, and the impetuses for recent public expressions of political art. The study draws from classical and feminist political economy, and include discussions of Millet, Picasso, Guston, Kollwitz, and Rego, among others.
