It's a very interesting take on art. It's provocative and makes you think but, I don't really know if stuff like this will reduce humanities propensities towards war, dehumanization and cruelty.
I mean artists have for a very long time glorified and vilified war and it never really seems to change that many peoples minds.
Picasso, Twain or Lennon haven't been able to pull it off I don't know--
clemens i kind of get, he was neutral during the civil war but later changed his opinion and went on to write a few anti-war pieces that were of significance after his death.
picasso i really don't get at all, refusing to fight is not even remotely the same thing as being outspokenly anti-war; moving on to endorsing aggressive communist militancy even less so.
