Hmm, has political art ever resulted in political change? I don't know about art alone, but there are certainly artists who through their art and related actions have had significant effects on political change, but we tend to forget just how disruptive those artists were at the time. Perhaps the most effective artist in recent times is the actor, comedian and producer, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who is now the de facto leader of "free world" while Biden dithers and Trump daily kneels to blow Putin like a well groomed alter boy.
Nevertheless, you are mostly correct about the results of political art. Too many artists are politically naive if not outright stupid about politics and war. Of course we all look to Guernica, but where was Picasso during the next war?
