Reply To: Propaganda Art

[Raven Shaw]

Good point about the rich being able to afford to commission propaganda art, and being able to suppress art that contains views counter to their message. Isn’t it amazing that we have come far enough that artists can run their political cartoons that satirize our rulers – right in our daily newspapers? I’ve read that Romans loved to drag their famous people through the dirt just as much as Americans do, but I think it was easier to have someone flogged then as well.
