Susan Sontag: Art That Means War
Five years ago, on the eve of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, Kurt and the late Susan Sontag spoke about the ways artists portray war — how they respond to it and why we need artists to help us understand it. Some of the artwork discussed included Francisco Goya’s “The Disasters of War” and Jeff Wall’s “Dead Troops Talk”.
