1. Barack Obama “Hope”

-which was widely described as iconic and came to represent his 2008 presidential
campaign. It consists of a stylized stencil portrait of Obama in solid red, beige and (light and
dark) blue, with the word "progress", "hope" or "change" below (and other words in some
versions).
2. From the Dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz to the Revolution by David Alfaro Siqueiros
- The title is usually conveyed in English as From the Dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz to the Revolution. José
de la Cruz Porfirio Díaz ruled Mexico for nearly 35 years — years that were characterized by national stability
and economic growth but also by inequality and repression. Porfirio Díaz was a Mexican president who was
incredibly influential, but remained in power through the use of corruption and violence–especially against
the poor. In this particular section of the mural, Siqueiros depicts a mass of working class people resisting
the unfair treatment in Mexico at the time. By using rapid, bold lines to emphasize each individual person
from an almost indistinguishable crowd, the artist reinforces the power of the community.
3.Pablo Picasso - Massacre in Korea from 1950

-Pablo Picasso was the heavy critic of the American war intervention in Korea, so the
painting Massacre in Korea is often considered as one of Picasso’s communist works. The artworks posses
strong reflection of one of the first paintings of the new age – Francisco Goya‘s masterpiece The Third of May
1808 from which it derives the political statement comparing the American forces in North Korea with the
imperialistic Napoleon army, Tyrant of Europe. The artist openly depicted civilians killed by anti-communist
forces as heroes standing erect and mocked the misshaped firing squad.
4.Peter Kien - Watercolor of Terezin from 1944

-Concentration camps are always considered as an epitome of the war horror. Jewish artist Peter
Kien was imprisoned in Terezin, where he use stolen artistic materials to witness the living conditions in the
Terezin ghetto. His artworks transgress the field of art, being are the one of the most important documents
recalling the truth on a concentration camp and the inhuman conditions of inmates. In 1944, the same year he
painted the Watercolor of Terezin, Kien was deported in Auschwitz, where being brutally killed at the age of
twenty-five.
5.Max Ernst - Europe After the Rain from 1940-42

-Europe After the Rain is surrealistic landscapeof dystopian Europe after the enormous destruction in
Second World War, painted by Max Ernst who was personally affected by the Nazi politics in Germany. The
paysage is dominated by pessimist feelings of emotional desolation, physical exhaustion and deep fears, which
are rather archetypal concern over the humanity than just actual reflection on war horror.
Critique Work a Specific Art
People like to imagine things on how they perceive something that comes to their mind. And
most of them like to express through different kind of things. Some are through oral communication, some are
expressing themselves through writing that they cannot put their words verbally. And most people expressed
their thoughts or experience with the use of their hands through painting. Each person have their own way to
express those things to become their way to tell to everyone what is left being said. Like through art works,
each artist have their own perception on their works or to their paintings. They are not just imagining things
but they are also using their heart through painting. But others perception of art is something that they cannot
understand, for others it is just like a paper with color or just a messy drawing that they cannot appreciate.
But they didn’t know that art can be something that is unexplainable.
Visual artwork has a big part to the visual of socio political, it is an image or art that is
expressing by some artist that is base by their experience or what the artist have picture on their mind from
the people makes their painting a story to tell or that can serves a message to all people who are seeing those
kind of paintings. That art has something to reveal an ideas to all people. On the ancient times like on how
Pablo Picasso did on his art named Guernica it is one of the most famous of his artwork and serves as a
powerful political statement which reveal what happened on Spain that there was a World War II occurred in
that place. Picasso make that painting to get the attention of the world. He use symbols to interpret things
happened that there were innocent people died and etc., Picasso’s artwork had been done a great job to get
attention of those people to open their eyes in the truth.
Artwork have been effectively to the visual of socio political statement. It serves the connection
to the people and by the artist itself who made the artwork. As what Picasso says that he did not made it, but
the people of that present moment made it to be that kind of painting. And by the use of his painting he just
wants to tell to everyone that they should not be scared of what happened before, but the painting wants say
that he don’t want to happen it again. We all know that at some point we do not appreciate paintings because
there are some chaotic painting which we cannot understand what the painting want to confess but if we
analyze and try to appreciate things we can see the beautiful side of it. Art is not just an art and it is not just
what you see but what you make others see. And being an artist is not one who is inspired, but one who
inspires others. While I am making this essay I realized that we should not only know how to appreciate things
but we should also know how to respect because we do not know the reality behind of someone else’s lives or
the truth of someone else’s work. And I admired those artist because they have a deeper perception in many
things and they are the one who sees what others only catch a glimpse of.
