Pablo Picasso(1881-1973)

“What do you think

an artist is? An

imbecile who has

only eyes if he is a

painter …?

…No, painting is

not done to

decorate

apartments. It is

an instrument of

war for attack and

defence against

the enemy.”

(1945)

Harro Koskinen’s‘Pig Ideology’

& Political Art of the 1960s

“The spreading of a constructive

unrest… a positive

troublemaking… (for a future

time when) criticism was

permitted and those who

questioned things were not

kicked off the stage.”

(Popcorn and Politics – Activism

in Art Exhibition, Kiasma 2002)

Pig Police Emblem (1969)
