Desperate for peace after two major world conflicts and a forty -year cold war, some artists painted images of the struggles they saw at both the local and international level. Others observed the crises of their times such as homelessness, poverty, incarceration in a growing prison society and political justice, and used iconographic images to make statements, erase borders and establish international networks of support.
