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.
