you are not immune to propaganda
if i'm interested in WWI then everyone else will be interested in WWI as well. its my national decree. and history fixation of the month. enjoy!
thank u as always to my incredibly talented editor @lastmanstanley he always nails these art history video essays. big ups to the big dawg
this originally started as me wanting to do a video on Picasso's Guernica ,but the more i researched and dove head first into it, the more i became intrigued with how war, surrealism, and propaganda are all intertwined.
i ended up exploring how a bunch of themes, namely the impact of horrors of war on art, the lost generation, the rise of surrealism and absurdism, anti & pro-war art, all inter-mingle and define wartime culture.
hope u enjoy or at the very minimum learned something u didnt know before! love u guys thanks for watching see u next week hehe
