Should art have moral limits?

At Metropolitan State University of Denver, students, artists, professors, and curators debate whether art should have moral limits, particularly when it addresses violence, political division, or sensitive social issues. The discussion features perspectives from Jess Gerome, an art education student who argues discomfort should not dictate creative expression, and Xtna Doleres, a multidisciplinary artist who believes art carries an ethical responsibility to speak truth and represent communities respectfully. Professor Jason Miller adds that while art alone may not cause harm, it must be taken seriously when it suggests real-world danger.

The paintings Jannis Psychopedis never let go

Seventy works kept for decades in the studio of painter Jannis Psychopedis form the core of a new retrospective at the Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation Museum in Athens, tracing the artist’s journey from 1962 to the present. Titled 'Jannis Psychopedis: Landscapes of Memory. The Ones I Kept,' the exhibition gathers paintings and mixed-media works that rarely appeared in public and were never intended as an archive. Psychopedis said he always saved 'two or three works from every period,' preserving them as 'support for the next movement' and as a record of life, art and experience. Emerging during the liberal climate of the 1960s, the artist belonged to the pioneering New Greek Realists and painted the tensions of a society shaped by advertising, consumerism and political upheaval.
