My missus is a photographer. She takes photos because she enjoys the art of photography. She displays them partly because she wants her work to be peer reviewed, and partly because she hopes that others will get something from the pictures she's taken.
I don't think she considers it her goal in life to educate others about the rights or wrongs of the things she photographs. She certainly never feels the need to post disclaimers with her pictures advising people on the do's and don'ts that could be applied.
Are you suggesting that Picasso was condoning the bombing of civilians because he didn't write "This is bad, kids" on the bottom of "Guernica"?
