- MrsPeaches 5y agoMay I ask where this quote came from? It seems utterly nonsensical to me. Edit: maybe it’s Politics with an uppercase P rather than politics with a lowercase p? That would make more sense.
- GameOfFrowns 5y agoSorry, I have no source and also I think the actual quote goes something like this (I just tried to follow the template from the parent comment): "If art gets involved with politics, it stops being art and becomes propaganda." I think it was some kind of retort to the Frankfurt school[0],[1] philosophical movement.

- MrsPeaches 5y ago> If art gets involved with politics, it stops being art and becomes propaganda. Does that actually make any sense to you? Would you consider Guernica by Picasso[1] propaganda?
