Tate Exhibition

     What is art and how can it impact society? Art is a form of expressing events and inner thoughts. The Tate Exhibition was an art show in which it expressed different varieties of pieces and their impacts. Whether it came from certain events politically or racially it all depends on your own opinion. William T. Williams,75, and Betye Saar,91, are two artists from the exhibition with different perspectives. William T. Williams perspective was that he didn't place himself in a political or racially influenced environment, but was influenced by his own creativity and other artists. On the other hand Betye Saar was deeply impacted by the civil rights and woman's rights movements. Such things as Aunt Jemima being a black woman on a pancake box affected her. The way she expressed herself was by liberating her racial and woman rights ideas by her art of Aunt Jemima holding two guns. Either way both artists had their own impacts in the Tate Exhibition in their own separate ways.
