Totalitarian Art

Totalitarian Art refers to artwork created under authoritarian regimes that aims to promote and reinforce the state's ideology and authority. It often features idealized images of leaders, patriotic themes, and a sense of unity, serving propaganda purposes. Such art is characterized by its control, uniformity, and lack of individual expression, designed to shape public perception and suppress dissent. It reflects the regime’s desire to use art as a tool for social cohesion and political control, often at the expense of artistic freedom and diversity.
