How artists have changed America through direct action and protest
THE WAR OF ART IS A HISTORY OF ARTIST-LED ACTIVISM AND ITS ASSOCIATED GLOBAL POLITICAL AND AESTHETIC DEBATES FROM THE 1960S TO THE PRESENT. STUDIES OF KEY INDIVIDUALS AND ARTIST GROUPS TELL THE STORY OF THEIR CAMPAIGNS FOR SOLIDARITY, HOUSING, AND LGBTQ+ AND HIV/AIDS AWARENESS. BASED ON IN-DEPTH ORAL HISTORIES AND ILLUSTRATED THROUGHOUT, THE WAR OF ART DEMONSTRATES THAT ART HISTORY IS ALSO POLITICAL HISTORY.Author: Lauren O’Neill-Butler
