Revolution art in the past vs now by Adele Tadevosyan

On Social Media or on the streets/underground you may have seen graffiti, which just by looking at it, it might confuse you:

But due to the current mass protest over Police Brutality in America, (the UK being hardly innocent) there has been much more graffiti but in the name of revolution. Racism isn’t suddenly blowing up again, it’s being recorded now. I’m sure many of you know the fist against racism which has been plastered everywhere:

Graffiti, a form of art, has been used to kind of document the movement, but in the past, there have been many paintings and sculptures to show other revolutions during history. Some notable mentions would be Washington Crossing the Delaware (on the night of December 25–26, 1776, during the American Revolutionary War)

Painting by Emanuel Leutze created in 1851

Liberty Leading the People

Painting by Eugène Delacroix created in 1830

The Sortie Made by the Garrison of Gibraltar

Painting by John Trumbull created in 1789

The Tennis Court Oath

Painting by Jacques-Louis David created in 1791 (but unfinished)



All these are classic versions of revolutionary paintings, which changed the world. We are doing that too. They may not want to listen to one voice, but they will have to listen to millions. Keep fighting for what you believe is right.
