Poverty and the Art Made of it


Art is a beautiful component of the earth no doubt. In my opinion certain things transform the beauty of art into ugly. In different cultures what may be ugly to me could be wonderful to someone else with a completely different mindset. Poverty is often displayed in art images. Is this still considered art? Of course, but is it right is the true question. I am quite sure that living in poverty does not make those who do happy. Images of yourself should create happiness or you should get some sort of learning experience out of it. Poverty can not be hidden it does exist. It just so happens that it is used to create images of art. Here's something that is very interesting:; photographers take pictures of those living in poverty and sell it as art and get money for this. While in the mean time the humans in the images are still in the same situation. Maybe you should help.
