Violence in art

When it comes to violence in art, around the 20th century, violence was going all around, and humans showed their fears and emotions through art. Art was created to express one's feelings and ideas; artists would draw what they felt, and different people had different interpretations of the art. History is proof that people went through different impacts when it came to the holocaust or even the great depression; they all had different stories to tell. Marcus Harvey's Myra in 1995 had done a portrait of a serial killer who murdered innocent children and was then found guilty of the crime and was dealt with. Harvey wanted the painting to capture the acts and malicious intentions that the killer had through his artwork. The 20th century suggests that violence was shown artistically, but it let people into the person's subconscious. Depictions of violence in high culture art and popular culture, such as cinema and theater, have been the subject of considerable controversy and debate for centuries. In Western art, graphic depictions of the Passion of Christ have long been portrayed, as have a wide range of depictions of warfare by later painters and graphic artists. Similarly, images and descriptions of violence have historically been significant features in literature. Aestheticized violence differs from gratuitous violence in that it is used as a stylistic element, and through the "play of images and signs" references artworks, genre conventions, cultural symbols, or concepts.
