Massacre in Korea. Massacre in Korea is a 1951 expressionistic painting by Pablo Picasso which is seen as a criticism of American intervention in the Korean War.[1][2][3] It depicts the 1950 Sinchon Massacre, an act of mass killing carried out by North Koreans, South Koreans, and American forces in the town of Sinchon located in South Hwanghae Province, North Korea. Although the actual cause of the murders in Sinchon is in question, Massacre in Korea appears to depict them as civilians being killed by anti-Communist forces. The art critic Kirsten Hoving Keen says that it is "inspired by reports of American atrocities" and considers it one of Picasso's communist works.
As with Goya's The Third of May 1808, the painting is marked by a bifurcated composition, divided into two distinct parts. To the left, a group of naked women and children are seen situated at the foot of a mass grave. At 43 inches (1.1 m) by 82 inches (2.1 m), the work is smaller than his Guernica.

A new Afghan art collective called Roshd, or "growth", has brought street art and graffiti to the conservative Muslim nation's capital, starting with a mural on a three meter high wall in an industrial park.

Seperation Wall Bearing Witness. I have Just returned from Bethlehem, where my main objective was to checkout some the art work on the Separation Wall. It is claimed by the Israeli Government that the wall is being built for security reasons, however if that was the case it would be being built on the Green Line. The term Green Line refers to the 1949 Armistice lines established between Israel and its neighbours Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria – after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. This is not the case, with the wall being built far into the West Bank to include often illegal Jewish settlements – redefining the boarders to even further limit Palestinian movement. The Palestinians have about the same population as Israel, but are limited to around 10% of the land. At least this depicts a fair fight - which is definitely not the case in the occupied territories.
The Palestinian and the cat, both pinning for freedom. I thought this was appropriate as the US gives Israel between $2 to $3 billion in aid a year. Like this: Images of Cultural Revolution.

No history of the Great War can afford to ignore its tremendous and far-reaching influence on British art. It may be argued that new movements in art were visible before 1914. Further, the war not only restored the younger men to sanity and inspired their pictures, it prepared a public to accept and understand them. Mr. Home - Anti War Art. Antiwar Artists.

Some examples and their background[edit] American[edit] Military art.
Military art is a term describing works of art on military themes. The genre of military art is characterized by its subject matter rather than by any specific style or material used. The battle scene is one of the oldest types of art in developed civilizations, as rulers have always been keen to celebrate their victories and intimidate potential opponents. The depiction of other aspects of warfare, especially the suffering of casualties and civilians, has taken much longer to develop. As well as portraits of military figures, depictions of anonymous soldiers away from the battlefield have been very common; since the introduction of military uniforms such works often concentrate on showing the variety of these.

Vietnam. War artist Arabella Dorman paints Iraq. Church's "Anti-War" Paintings Draw Fire. (PRWEB) April 29, 2005 - Angry e- mailers and callers to the Saint Paul's on the Green Epsicopal church have repeatedly invoked 9-11 in response to articles about their new stations of the cross. Conservative Christians have denounced the paintings as a political statement inappropriate for a house of worship.
"They are not a political statement, but a theological statement about suffering in the world," responded Rev. Nicholas Lang, rector of Saint Paul's on the Green, an Episcopal church in Norwalk Connecticut. "The reality is that war, no matter why it's being fought, has got to be viewed as tragic. " The paintings were commissioned by Saint Paul's in March 2004, from New York City artist Gwyneth Leech. At Saint Paul's the congregation has embraced the new paintings, dedicated in Lent of 2005. "However, to imply that an anti-war statement could be inappropriate in a place dedicated to the teachings of Jesus implies what must be a willful denial of what Jesus actually taught.
