Cradle Will Rock Art History

Art, History, and Perception in Cradle Will Rock All the art displayed within Cradle Will Rock is a reflection of history and expressionism. Every character within this film sees, and therefore uses, art in a different manner. There are three main types of art depicted within this metafilm: paintings, live performances, and how art relates to business practices. For paintings, there is an abundance of underlying messages. Rivera's mural attacks war, the government, and modern thinking; however,…
