The Global Crisis, The Role and Meaning of Art in Society

by Caoimhghin Ó Croidheáin from Global Research
Caoimhghin Ó Croidheáin is an Irish artist who has exhibited widely around Ireland. His work consists of drawings and paintings and features cityscapes of Dublin, images based on Irish history and other work with social/political themes.
The author makes some very useful distinctions between "Socialist Realism" and "Revolutionary Romanticism" in reference to art forms.
