All art is propaganda, and ever must be, despite the wailing of the purists.

I do not care a damn for any art that is not used for propaganda.
Art and propaganda have this much connection, that if a propaganda makes art impossible, it is clearly damned.
All art is propaganda...I do not care a damn, for any art that is not used for propaganda.
All art is propaganda. ... The only difference is the kind of propaganda. Since art is essential for human life, it can't just belong to the few. Art is the universal language, and it belongs to all mankind. All painters have been propagandists or else they have not been painters. ... Every artist who has been worth anything in art has been such a propagandist. ... Every strong artist has been a propagandist. I want to be a propagandist and I want to be nothing else. ...

I very much enjoyed Leo Tolstoy's What is Art? I can't quote it, it's been a while, but at the end of the day, the idea is that "art that does good in the world is art, and what doesn't is not. It's propaganda or something else. It's bad."

Malevich, Lissitsky, Kandinsky, Tatlin, Pevsner, Rodchenko... all believed in the social role of art... Their works were like hinged doors, connecting activity with activity.

A saboteur in the house of art and a comedienne in the house of art theory, Lawler has spent three decades documenting the secret life of art. Functioning as a kind of one-woman CSI unit, she has photographed pictures and objects in collectors' homes, in galleries, on the walls of auction houses, and off the walls, in museum storage.
Art isn't and shouldn't be responsible. If it is, it isn't functioning as art.
Realistic, naturalistic art had dissembled the medium, using art to conceal art; Modernism used art to call attention to art.
