Finally, I decided choose four or five topic point to describe and talk the relationship between art and war in my essay. “Art is used to promote war “”Art is used to oppose war””The destruction of art, is used to demoralise opponents during war””Art is looted in the course of war””Art is used to recover from war”. there is an inevitable connection between them.
After wars have ended, art has also been used to raise funds for soldiers injured in the course of wars and to provide relief to refugees displaced from them. Art has also been used as part of DDR strategies to provide employment for former combatants and to rehabilitate former combatants emotionally. Artists have even used the weapons of war to manufacture art.
This historical journey made me feel the meaning and relationship of war to art. Especially those who have experienced various massacres in these wars, they have experienced the cruelty of humanity, through their artistic language to express and complain about the dissatisfaction with the war.
