Artcritical explores political art with 9/11 paintings, digital app, and Mercedes fire study

Artcritical's political art coverage features a compelling examination of a Mercedes being consumed by flames, described as both mesmerizing and frightening. The platform also presents paintings that directly address the trauma of September 11, 2001, avoiding both sentimental and patriotic approaches. Additionally, a digital application designed for the iPad2 transforms the work of a prominent 1980s art figure into a new format. Contributors to this content include Eric Gelber, Suzanne Joelson, Drew Lowenstein, and Saul Ostrow. These diverse approaches demonstrate contemporary engagement with political themes through varied artistic media.
