Art and Emotion

Many artists express their emotions through their art-making, and the finished art will reflect that emotion. Other artists may make an image with the hope of creating an emotional response in the viewer. In looking at the details of several famous paintings below, which emotions do you feel? Decide for yourself first, and then scroll down to the bottom to see if you read these paintings the same way Artsology does.








So, what did you think? Here's how Artsology reads these emotions, although this is the beauty of art - there is no "right" answer, you may respond in a completely different way.

Matisse: joy

Lichtenstein #1: fear

Picasso: sadness

Chagall #1: love

Lichtenstein #2: anger, creating fear

Bacon: anger, or pain

Chagall #2: happiness

Wood: serious, grim
