A child’s watching, sad eyes. Monstrously emaciated forms in torn, dirty clothes, illness, fear, epidemics.... Through these and other images of the war, of poverty, we know suffering, in which the defenceless child is often a central object of the cinema, literature, photography and paintings. Multidimensional and diverse ranges of children’s poverty are becoming the inspiration for art, for which he is a purpose...? Yeah what purpose is actually motivating artists presenting the poverty? What role is the small child performing in them? And who „is saying” so to the truth behind the mediation of such images and photographs? In the present article I will try to expand the context „of reading out” of recorded and stereotyped images of the poverty well-known for the painting and the photography.
