I
am seeing a disturbing trend in political art coming from purportedly
progressive artists. There are beautiful visual hagiographies of Obama
and Hillary being churned out by some of the best illustrators working
today.
Some of these works are even more
obsequious than the legendary "Hope" image. I know these artists mean
well and see themselves as champions of just and righteous leaders.
They are falling into propaganda. When we do so, we become complicit in the crimes of the establishment.
