Art History with Labor

Maine Gov. Paul LePage, 36-foot mural depicting the state's labor history
"Can street art murals be simply too hot to handle for the public to view? Are the public funds and corporate subsidies often used to produce it any more disreputable than the same norms that permit corporations to peddle much more insidious ideologies through an invasion of public space through the medium of billboards? The idea of politically correct, and liberty of expression seems to be a flexible and elastic concept depending on the context. And the current social and economic context, does recall the artistic current of realism and social realism of the 1930′s."
