Look at Artemeisia Gentilschi’s “Decapitating Holofernes,” and Cindy Sherman’s untitled film stills, and Kathe Kollwitz’s amazing expression, for that matter look at the Chave cave drawings (desperation or hope?). And Betye Saar’s “The Liberation of Aunt Jemima.” What do you think art is about? Just beauty? If so look at Orlan the French performance artist. Artists also capture our attention about injustices. And they may use color, texture and other elements and principles to do it.

First, I want to say that I do think these images are very beautiful to look at. Beyond that, though, I tend to have very little patience for artwork that seeks only to victimize it’s subjects. And I don’t mean that the oppression the artist speaks of is not present, or important, but as artists, I think we should seek to empower those who need empowering, and not just adopt a “poor them” or “look, how oppressed” attitude. These photographs seem, to me, only to reinforce the oppression the artist is so critical of.

Sometimes I can’t help but being critical towards contemporary chinese photography employing ‘shock’ element but lacking in substance.
