Are Confederate monuments important works of art?
(Artdaily.org)
 


Confederate monuments of Civil War figures, who fought against the Union Army in an attempt to preserve slavery, have become central to the debate surrounding white supremacists and America`s past. New momentum has built to remove such monuments, after a violent white supremacist gathering in Virginia last weekend in support of a statue of Confederate general Robert E Lee. President Donald Trump said Thursday he was `sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments.` What is the historical and artistic value of these Civil War statues? AFP asked two experts to weigh in: an American historian and a museum curator who has studied many of the monuments. `Building these really in some ways was a political and cultural move,` said James Grossman, head of the American Historical Association.
