Angels
Archangels/Warriors from David Gareji, Georgia 12-13th century, bigger size
My eye hurt already when I came back from David Gareji and in the evening it became a terrible pain. Thanks to the great Georgian physicians Ramazi and Levani from Ortachala Hospital my eye got cured so far but I need to continue therapy for a couple of days.
Edward Winkleman wrote about the difficulty to define good political art. It seems, that both do not mix very well. First artists I was thinking of had been Käthe Kollwitz and John Heartfield. What about Joseph Beuys ? Wasn't he in a lot of his works attacking politics ?
Hans Haake ! Gerhard Richter with his zyklus of October 18, 1977 ?
Even Jonathan Meese with his cooking of German myth of Ego, Erz, Stahl, Blut and Ehre ?
There was a nice article on Meese, more on the artist and his environment than his art, called "Johnny und seine Mama" by Jacob Augstein in German at Zeit.de
Very good Political Art made also Otari Chkhartishvili (1938-2006), but that was, when it was dangerous to make it. Bigger Size
