Controversial
art is interpreted differently due to individual boundaries in which religion,
politics, violence and nudity are on the top list of causing arguments. In this
case, politics and violence were combined in this charcoal drawing by a
Brazilian artist named Gil Vincente. His drawing portrayed himself assonating
the Queen of England which I believe is disrespectful towards the leader who
represents the whole nation. Besides politics, this drawing promotes violence
to some extent by revealing the gun. Killing the Queen is not possible in real
life so he transferred the idea on to a paper, a reflection of reality and his
true nature. Art is the best way to express a person’s character and emotions;
sometimes it reflects his/her deep thought without them noticing.
