Did you know that artistic censorship and exile have roots stretching from ancient regimes to modern authoritarian states? The book uniquely focuses on painters, filling a gap in scholarship that often overlooks this group, while also exploring freedom of expression and social justice themes.
The book unfolds in three sections, beginning by introducing artistic exile and its forms, and then examining the sociopolitical dynamics triggering this exile, and, finally, exploring the impact of exile on the artists' work and lives. It delves into how governments and social groups define acceptable artistic expression, considering themes like religion, sexuality, and political dissent.
The book provides a framework for understanding contemporary issues related to artistic censorship, analyzing current debates about controversial art and the role of artists in challenging social and political norms.
