#0, Art – a bridge between culture & politics
Posted by Barry on 23-Jul-08 at 04:45 AM
From skillful caricaturists to passionate crusaders for political causes, Israeli artists have throughout history in one form or another created a political work of art. The political art has always played a part in the soul of Israeli creations, But still even in modern times of today, artists are often scared to link their creations to history and politics.

The Amos Aharoni Israeli Prime Ministers collection is a showcase for the potential of art projects to serve as a platform for political opinion and social issues. The Amos Aharoni Prime Ministers Collection is a personally initiated private collection of Israeli art featuring about 100 paintings of previous and current Israeli prime ministers.
Here are some links about Amos Aharoni Collection:

I also believe so, Through art people can express their feeling/thoughts about anything. Especially about culture and even politics!


Although many are not that brave to do so, there are some who were!

They shouldn't be afraid to show their thoughts about anything as long as it is not below the belt!

It helps to know others cultures and one way to show it is through art.

I hope more people will have the courage to express it..
