In an increasingly polarized world, Social Forms surveys those artists at the forefront of political resistanceIn Social Forms: A Short History of Political Art, renowned critic, curator and writer Christian Viveros-Faun has picked 50 representative artworks--from Francisco de Goya's The Disasters of War (1810-20) to David Hammons' In the Hood (1993)--that give voice to some of modern art's strongest calls to political action.In accessible and witty entries on each piece, Viveros-Faun paints a picture of the context in which each work was created, the artist's background and the historical impact of each contribution. Whether it is Picasso's Guernica and its place Sometimes artists create projects that subvert existing power structures; sometimes they make artwork so powerful it challenges the very fabric of society.
