Abstract
The paper discusses how politics have had an impact on art and how artists have impacted political structure. The paper shows how, especially during times of unrest, art becomes a political message as a motivational or propaganda tool. The paper looks at the decades prior to and immediately after the Russian Revolution and examines the beliefs and impact of artists such as Ivan Kramskoy, Ilia Repin and Lazar "El" Lissitzky.
From the Paper
"Artists such as Ivan Kramskoy, for example, were involved with the ideological structure that represented Russian realism in the 1860s, a decade of reform and renovation. This liberal stage of the movement, reflecting the intelligentsia's efforts to free individual thought and public activity from bureaucratic controls, lasted through the mid-1880s. Artists, with their decidedly inferior status in society's estimation
and their own, were overwhelmed with the importunate demands of the radicals that they ceased being quiet supporters of the state and decided to contribute their share to political reform."

Public Art In France and Spain, 1780-1830, 1999.
Examines themes and styles of the idealistic works of Jacques-Louis David and his influence on other public art, focusing on political art based on Enlightenment values.

Abstract
The ideal of public art fostered by Jacques-Louis David was embraced by painters in France and Spain in the period 1780 to 1830. This was a political art, based on the ideals of the Enlightenment, which engaged in criticism or praise of the state. But in this extremely volatile period shifts in politics, transformations of the state, and changes of leaders in the two countries meant that this highly political art did not always meet David's ideal. Depending on the state of politics the times could call for praise or blame of the leadership or would allow more or less explicit critiques by painters.

Depending on the state of politics the times could call for praise or blame of the leadership or would allow more or less explicit critiques by painters. An examination of four examples of public art from this period shows how painters sought to promote Enlightenment ideals despite great differences in the political circumstances to which they responded.

The paper looks at how Man Ray revolutionized the art of photography; his artistic notion of gender politics. Sherman's photography as framed within the feminist critique of patriarchy.
From the Paper
"Certainly one of the most often and erroneously perpetuated myths in art is the idealistic notion that photography is an expression of truth. If this were the case, we would be prompted to answer the question 'whose truth?' A simple study of the mere gender politics inherent in photography proves that if there is any truth to be found in photography, it is most certainly of a relativistic nature. Here we will study the photography of photographers..."

Art as Propaganda, 2008.
This paper discusses the use of art in politics within the American society.
2,938 words (approx. 11.8 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 86.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that art and politics often go hand in hand, though usually artists seek to expose the hypocrisy of ruling elites and so produce art that deliberately fails to meet with the approval of the leaders. The writer notes that at times, governments make use of art and artists for propaganda purposes, a process known from the various posters used by the Nazis and the Communists to promote their ideas. The American government has made use of art in a similar way, including art that otherwise would not find official approval. The writer concludes that the history of the way art has been used by the government suggests that the art itself is viewed in terms of its usefulness more than its actual content or any aesthetic base it may have, and primarily modern art has been used to counter the more staid and more politicized art in support of enemy ideologies.
Outline:
Introduction
Modern Art
Art and Politics
Art and American Taste
Art and Ideology
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The modern art movement diverged from the more accepted representational art preferred by most political leaders, and even though much modern art was considered too opaque to be understood and in some ways decadent, it was embraced as a propaganda tool by the U.S. government through agencies such as the CIA during the Cold War period. Most Americans are unaware of the way this process was undertaken and used and might be surprised by it, given the more prosaic attitude taken toward art by political leaders to this day. Analysts point out that many of these programs were conducted quite openly just the same, though even observers aware of the program might wonder why modern art was chosen and how it was used to benefit American interests."

From the Paper
"This paper compares ancient Egyptian art with ancient Greek art and considers the ways in which the Greeks were influenced by Egyptian art. Egypt established a long and enduring artistic tradition. Greek art drew heavily on that background, using many of the same kinds of subjects and incorporating many similar symbols but then reinterpreted them through very different eyes and a strikingly different cultural perception. Both visions continue to have a profound impact on artists in modern cultures from their representation of everyday life to the varied..."

Abstract
This paper covers many complex ideas relating to the way that we view databases in our culture. It proposes that the database will be the canvas of the future for artistic and cultural exploration. This paper also includes many references from leading scholars in the field.
From the Paper
"Hail, hail to the menu driven computer interfaces that we have come to expect. These well made navigational systems of logical menus and clearly written labels, three button mice and ergonomic keyboards give us one of the most important technologies of our time the human computer interface (HCI). The HCI and the Graphical User interface (GUI) have been thought about and redefined as every new piece of computer hardware and software have been created. (The terms HCI and GUI will be used interchangeably as we are addressing the notion of interface.) The creation of the HCI has now mostly become the task of the new media artist. This becomes a very limiting constraint on the artist when the interface is the only element of a new media object that has any hope of becoming seen as a relevant area to create art. There are at least two other clearly definable media objects, the data and the database. I will focus here on the database. It is my contention is that a new media art piece can consist solely of a database without the need for the involvement of an interface. "

National Socialist Art and Architecture, 2007.
A look at how the National Socialists in Nazi Germany used art and architecture for political purposes.
2,382 words (approx. 9.5 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 73.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how, forming part of the propaganda machine, art and architecture were used largely for the glorification of the Nazi regime and the Aryan race and for the denunciation of Judaism, Bolshevism and what the Nazis thought of as "degeneracy." The paper looks at how, by enforcing changes in the art world and through the use of "new German" architecture, the Nazis sought to cleanse the fatherland of "degenerate art", which was seen as detrimental to the Volk, and to ensure the National Socialist movement's immortality through buildings that would survive to inspire future generations of the thousand year Reich.
From the Paper
"Art held a place of high value in National Socialist ideology. Hitler who was an artist turned politician inspite of himself had said "art is the only truly enduring investment of human labour." Hitler linked artistic styles with race, claiming that the Weimar period's "degenerate art" was a result of "racial decline." The Fuhrer also linked art with politics saying "art has at all times been the expression of an ideological and religious experience and at the same time the expression of political will." According to Nazi ideology, only Aryans were the true bearers of culture, therefore only they could produce true art. The modern styles such as Cubism, Dadaism and Expressionism, which had flourished during the Weimar period were a result of "cultural Bolshevism" and influenced by the Jews. "

Modern Feminist Art, 2002.
A overview of three different approaches to modern feminist art under the categories of "The Body Politic", "The Body Social" and "Decoration vs. Abstraction".

Abstract
This paper will examine three general approaches in modern feminist art by three feminist artists. It will be argued that these feminists assume radically different perspectives with regard to their mediums and objectives. Under the general categories of "the Body Politic" (feminism and politics), "the Body Social" (representations of the human body as a site of conflicting social values) and "Decoration vs. Abstraction" (hierarchical double standards with regard to "male" abstraction and "female" decorative arts), it will be shown how these differences in part reflect the shifting phases of modern feminist art, but more importantly signify the diverse multiplicity of modern feminist art.

Abstract
This paper examines the art of the Netherlandish region during the fifteenth century and suggests that, contrary to common scholarly opinion, the art of this region was important not only from the perspective of how it related to contemporary art in Italy, but, in its own right, was possibly one of the most important moments in Western art history. Also examined are the inventions, innovations, and impact Netherlandish art had the development of European art.
From the Paper
"Nevertheless, the depiction of the world was an unusually strong preoccupation of the Netherlandish painters. Among those artists who worked in the early part of the century, the output of the Tournai painter Robert Campin (c. 1378-1444) and that of the Master of Fl?malle, is sometimes regarded as distinct and sometimes as the work of one individual."
