Not so. I’m sorry you can’t get past the superficial image. I really don’t see how I can make it more simple.
Maybe one of the other posters can do better.
Maybe, but it seemed simple enough. It still comes down to declaring it to be either illustation or propaganda.
The only thing your explanation does is remove any responsibily for making that determination from the viewer. Whatever they decide it's illustation or propaganda must be because that's how the artist intended it.
