Abstract
There is an ample literature on the political changes that took place under the military government of General
Muhammad Zia-ul Haq and a few studies that explore the status of art under the censorship policies imposed,
however, there are still many areas that need to be explored from the perspectives of art history and criticism.
One such area is the focus of this study, wherein, art works are analyzed in terms of their main aesthetic
content. The study maintains that various artists who were resilient against oppressive censorship collectively
produced an aesthetic of retaliation which promoted freedom and insight in multiple ways. Although each of the
artists discussed in the study require separate and detailed inquiry but still looking their notable works at one
place helps in defining some common features.
