Art of the Arab–Israeli conflict refers to paintings, posters, sculptures, photography, videos, installation art and other visual media produced by artists who have been exposed to the conflict and who bring images of terror into their work. These artworks are produced in the geographical region of Israel and Palestine and also includes artists from West Bank, Gaza Strip, Syria, Jordan and the United States. In terms of subject matter, themes that have dominated this art have shifted over the years from images of rootlessness and displacement after 1948 to youthful and robust fighters in the 1960s. Today many artists directly illustrate terrorism and violence on civilians and use images and symbols that depict life under terrorism such as suicide bombers, the Wall, Israeli checkpoints, weapons, stones and tanks, tents and camps. Since 2000, newspaper and television images of violence, destruction and despair, the very by-products of terrorist acts, have influenced a generation of new work with artists reworking these images into aesthetics objects with terror at its core. Reactions to these art works are fragmented, controversial and intense. Exhibits in the United States such as (Made in Palestine ), which opened in San Francisco in 2005 and The Aesthetics of Terror, which was to open at the (Chelsea Art Museum ) in NYC in the September 2008 were shut down early or canceled. ==Symbols, imagery and themes== Symbols, imagery and themes used among these artists in their works influenced by the conflict include: military symbols of war including soldiers, ammunition such as stones and rifles, missiles and army tanks; symbols of occupation and security include roadblocks, barricades, checkpoints, and The Wall; images of terror and death include portraits, photographs and videos of male and female suicide bombers, buses after they have been blown up, the aftermath of suicide bombing sites, body bags, pools of blood and blood stains; and finally, themes of oppression, which include entrapment and victimization include images of strip searches, weeping women holding children, motherless children, tents in refugee camps, and prisons. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Art of the Arab–Israeli conflict」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
