To what extent is the artist a political commentator? Artists challenge and disturb, often taking a political stance. Artists become more vocal from the 19th century, then use the manifesto, social realism and propaganda posters in the 20th century to redefine the function of art, to promote social revolution, aligning artists with the worker. Images from Michelangelo to Warhol are used to support this challenging argument.
