Critical Vehicles


Who speaks for those that can’t speak for themselves? According to Krystof Wodizcko artists speak for the ones that are voiceless or their voices have not been heard. Artists have the ability to bring strive of few to the masses. I think it’s true what they say that a picture can speak a thousand words. One picture of a homeless man struggling to walk, can be broadcasted to million and out of those millions, someone will help. Art is breaking the barrier between the seen and unseen. Many people are forced into action because it’s impossible to unsee something that you’ve seen. Some art can be pretty, but to mean the most beautiful art are the pieces that aren’t afraid to show the truth. Most people will hang up a Monet because its breathtaking, but those people will refuse to hang up a picture or painting portraying the homeless. To get around this obstacle, artists are going public with their artwork. By going public with the pictures, people have no choice but to look and take note. When something is pushed into your face its hard just to turn away.
