Been my experience that even if the artist makes something they feel is not political there will always be those that will overlap their thoughts/feelings/political leanings on it.
I’ve created a fair amount of pieces that have been political in nature. Then there was just a song bird I did that people pushed their thoughts upon it (oh, it speaks of the environment/capitalism. I’ve also protested against some art Voice of Fire as an example.
Should art be political Short answer, yes. Does the viewer have to like it No. You are allowed to roll your eyes and move on. Art can give a voice to those that don’t normally have one.

politics is always active in all processes whether by action or absence.
all art & entertainment is political whether by message or diversion.
dance, music, film, tv, reality tv, game shows, sports, especially sports where we fly fighter jets over the game and dedicate it to a military.
if an aspect of society, imbued with or irrespective of nationalism, is present or missing from whatever art or entertainment, that is a political choice.
not being political is political. it's the most political.

Many artists have used their work to express political views and critique social inequalities. For example, during the Vietnam War, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young released the song Ohio as a critique of the killing of students by the Ohio National Guard during the Kent State shootings. And let's not forget the iconic Guernica painting by Pablo Picasso, which powerfully depicted the bombing

It's extremely rare for art to not be in some way political. Even when the artist doesn't intend it to be there's bound to be some interpretation that can make it political, and Death of the Author is a thing. And and artist making something consciously as apolitical as possible in itself is political.

Only if you actually know what you’re talking about. Or at least is produced with the understanding that your perspective might be limited.
97% of what’s pumped out today is just parroting safe, mainstream views that is pre-approved by people that would rather you not ask too many questions.

In my opinion if a art should or not be politic is a question for the author and not to the public, for exemple when the creator of Terrifier franchise say that his movies are not politics the media literacy people cries on twitter say that no actually your movie had politics

Art is political indeed. The best paintings are portrets of affluent people. I love part of Pompedou museum with political posters of the beggings of 20th century. They are both bright and interesting through colour and very strong political statement.

Art won't stand the test of time unless the artist had something they were trying to communicate. Learning and introspection is political in any climate that wants an uninformed public to take advantage of. Therefore, all good art is political.

The problem with a lot of art (modern and otherwise) isn't that it is political, it is that it isn't beautiful. Art should both critique the bad and extol and embody the Good, the True, and the Beautiful.

Art has been political since its inception within the human mind; in fact some could make a valid argument that the REASON art arose is because of political realities.
