The search results are getting more and more personal and the so-called 'free' services are paid for by the information on our surf behavior. We have become both the producer...

Joes Segal Art and politics

between purity and propaganda

At first glance, art and politics seem like they couldn't be more separate, with politics focused on the grubbiness of everyday reality and art busily creating a fantasy world of creative expression. Yet the two realms frequently come together, and the collision can be fiery. This book explores the position of art and artists under a number of different political regimes of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, traveling around the world to consider how art and politics have interacted and influenced...

Hans Jansen Why shouldn't Israel exist in the Middle East?
