Iconoclasts

Iconoclasts are a group of artists that had one goal in mind, to go against and essentially destroy the process that religious figures had set up over years and years. They purposefully sought to degrade religious paintings and sculptures because they began to reject what they we calling for, they gave no fucks about it. Typically these artists appeared or started to paint this way when they were stuck between large religious movements, or even political movements sparked an uprising from these artists. They believed that it was their "divine objective" to get rid of these idols, to cause an uprising to overthrow them and destroy the sanctity of their images/meanings.

Today these objectives have stayed the same, these artists are trying to destroy the meanings of somethings, but the goal has no longer stayed with just religion. Now artists have begun to think of ways to cause obstruction or stop the progress of any new belief that is pressing or strong during that time. Although radical and extreme, it seems to be necessary for this to happen. A lot of reform comes from the loudest most influential speakers. Fortunately, everyone depends on art and aesthetics for something in their life. This means that these artists have been the voice or at the very least a spark to initiate this change. They test boundaries, and do not stand for things if there is something wrong with it. Most times the people are on their side, which is when Iconoclasm can be found at a high. However, when these artists lose footing, the ideas go away and they keep things as is.
