Patriotism Expressed through Art
“Birth of a Nation“ Limited Edition Serigraph by Yankel Ginzburg
Patriotism is the love of one’s country. It is only natural to love one’s fatherland, and people all over the world unify through their shared love for their own people and ways. In various countries, including the United States of America, patriotism can come through in different ways, such as music, literature, the flag, etc., and art plays no small part. See below the different manifestations of patriotism expressed through art for inspiration!
The Role of Art
The role of art and the artist in society are manifold. An artist can create works that critique, teach, entertain, embolden, inspire, and record. Without art, life lacks one of its most powerful assets of communication. It makes one conscious of the unseen in life and begins a conversation about those topics, one of them being patriotism.
Promoting Patriotic Unity
Patriotism expressed through art can happen in several ways. For example, one could take the Romanticist approach and use art as a vehicle to express oneself and one’s love for one’s country. Those who enjoy this art would express their own patriotism through hanging originals or prints in their home or business.
Governments or other authorities might also use patriotic art to communicate the values of a nation as a declaration, a teaching tool, or a tool to unify the country. The art subject usually consists of physical objects and symbols that are distinct to that country. In the U.S., these objects would include the American flag, the bald eagle, and the Statue of Liberty.
Criticism of America in Art
As there are those who praise the country, there are also those who critique it. It is a two-sided conversation that thrives via visual art. Pop artists are the most famous for their critiques of American culture and norms through bold, vibrant colors and unique portrayals of American icons like Mickey Mouse, the Statue of Liberty, and the American flag.
