Conrad Atkinson

Résumé du livre

"Conrad Atkinson is one of Britain's most important political artists, whose work has sometimes been controversial, bringing him into direct conflict with those who govern culture in Britain. The ideology of the system, he argues, 'soaks into our bodies, through our ears, through our hands and through our eyes', and the artist who opposes any aspect of it must attempt to 'picture' or identify this assault. Picture the System is about Conrad Atkinson's work between 1970 and 1981. During these years he has concentrated on such issues as industrial disease, the multinationals, the conflict in Northern Ireland, war, nuclear power, exploitation of the Third World, racism and poverty" --
