IT'S A HUGE SUBJECT WHICH EVOLVED OVER DECADES. WHAT DO DO HERE?). Agitprop etc. zzzzzzz One interesting thing is the aesthetics. This was some of the most influential graphic design in it's history. Photomontage was also used to great effect by Rodchenko and El Lissitsky.
Revolutions are initially subversive, but then there is the following counter revolution. This was the case with the Russian Revolution, which started as a peoples revolution, but over time the people were suppressed by Stalin.
Revolution - An allegory - i.e A metaphor: George Orwell “Animal Farm” USE QUOTES
Situationists and 1968 Student Revolution in Paris. This can link into RECUPERATION - how art can be subverted, and re-used in different contexts or exploited for money.e.g. -The Nina Simone article which will provide a great quote. see also situationist bit, Recuperation & Detournement. - LOTS OF MATERIAL IN SITUATIONIST SECTION
