I believe this artwork does have a function and that is to produce animation. Not only does it produce animation but also serves as entertainment for many. Cartoons are a great example that resembles the function of manga artwork. Cartoons are originally drawn up just like manga and sometimes end up in animation like anime.

KRISTIE POST PICTURE ATTACH BELOW

I selected Vincent Van Gogh's, Cafe Terrace at Night. The attraction I have for the painting is the contrasting colors and tones which defy the darkening night sky.  One of the interesting facts about this piece of art is that it is a night painting without the color black. I also the love the french setting of the cafe in the quaint village, Arles.  The idea of popular culture is set in this painting as it permeates the everyday lives of people in a given society.  The culture portrayed is a higher society of individuals in a prominent cafe setting .

I do not see a function in this painting, I feel it is more of an attraction piece of art.  The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci is a painting that resembles the painting of Cafe Terrace at Night.  Close study of the artwork compares both paintings to one central character with long hair and 12 individuals, plus a figure departing in the shadows. It is believed at the time the painting of Cafe Terrace at Night was completed, Van Gogh had a tremendous need for religion.
