Editing Protest art (section)

==History==
It is difficult to establish a history for protest art because many variations of it can be found throughout history. While many cases of protest art can be found during the early 1900s, like Picasso's ''[[Guernica (Picasso)|Guernica]]'' in 1937, the last thirty years{{When|date=February 2011}} has experienced a large increase in the number of artists adopting protest art as a style to relay a message to the public.

As awareness of social justices around the world became more common among the public, an increase in protest art can be seen. Some of the most critically effective artworks of the recent period{{When|date=February 2011}} were staged outside the gallery, away from the museum and in that sense, protest art has found a different relationship to the public.
