Public Art

Throughout the centuries there has been many piece in art that caused quiet a bit of controversy. Whether it be nudity, political opinion, religious issue or any of the other issues that have and will continue to cause people to talk and ruffle a few feathers along the way to notoriety. Art has always made people think about what the piece is about or stands for. Some people they may have liked many of the pieces that have been taken down or even banned in some places. But because these works were taken down or covered up and painted over due to a number people in some of the communities who did not like what they were seeing or felt that the art work was offensive. It will always be two kinds of people, the people who hate these pieces and want them to be destroyed and never see the light of day ever again for numerous reasons. Then there are people who absolutely love these pieces and what they stand for. Yet what is most recognized is the art that generate bad publicity and the people who do not like some of these art pieces and also feel that the artists was just trying to make a statement or just trying to get the community in an up roar about their pieces. While this may have been the reasoning behind some of the artists and their of controversial pieces it was not meant all of them. Controversy was not the predicted to be the outcome for a lot of artist but is what they ultimately would get for the wonderful converstaion starting pieces they had made. These painting sculptures murals and more sure got people talking and still have some people talking even today. Here are a just are a few that come to my mind.

...ted to present it to the world so they could also see how they felt. Both artist's work had been seen to be quite disrespectful one party or another when that was not the intention of the artist's work. Their works stirred up tons of controversy
Both Gabriel Villa and Sabers piece were great examples of how art is perceived by people and sometimes may cause issue and controversy. It show that people see things differently and feel differently because of thing that may have happen in the past or could be happening. Artist know these things and while some may just be pushing the boundaries of art while expressing their thoughts and feelings. Other artist may just be trying to get to express themselves and end up pushing the limits of the art world. In the end many art will always get people talking and spark up controversial issues but that is what is supposed to do.
