I read four articles relating to the use of propaganda and the role of artists during times of war, the first of which focused on Pablo Picasso. I found it to be extremely relevant, because the first thing the article mentions is Picasso’s politically based painting, Guernica, which is one of the items I brainstormed for this research topic. Picasso was able to portray deep meaning through his artwork during politically cataclysmic times, while still remaining true to his self.
