Thesis
Art is an expressive method that captures the viewpoint and influences of the artist. It is used in a variety of effective ways, especially in recording the historical past. Present day the reader is able to analyze the composition of an artist’s work and when full understanding is achieved, to connect with its intended meaning. However, the meaning may vary among individuals. Art and history have worked together to illustrate the worldview of an artist as seen through his eyes. When text is added to an artwork, the interpretation of the image changes.
