Art is affected by politics more than politics are affected by art. In
Russia they had lots of famous painters that were influenced by
politics and it can be seen in their art. If you follow this link to a Kindinsky painting, you will see the little red circle. That, believe it or not, is actually a statement for communism.
Picasso did a really famous paint for the Olympics that criticized the
Spanish bombing of their own city. It was a response to the fascist
movement that was happening at the same time. It actually had a huge
influence on politics. It is called Guernica.
