It highlights how art functions as a tool for reflection, critical thinking, mediation, and communication. The text references influential artists like Banksy, Guerrilla Girls, Olafur Eliasson, and Barbara Kruger, known for their socially conscious work. It delves into Pablo Picasso's perspective, emphasizing his view of art as a political weapon used to express historical events and advocate for peace, particularly in response to the Spanish Civil War and World War II. Picasso believed artists must be aware of global happenings and shape their work accordingly, stating that painting is an instrument of war rather than a decorative element for apartments. The document cites Picasso's quote, \"I never thought about painting for the elite only. I’ve always thought that painting should awaken something, even in those who don’t have the habit of contemplating paintings.\"","3  \nART, SOCIAL CRITICISM?  \n‘ I never thought about painting for the elite only.
