Expressions in Art


This painting shows the pain and suffering of an African American while dealing with not only slavery but being free yet still dealing with hardships such as the Ku Klux Klan. When I look at this picture it really upsets me because the artist potrayed the sadness this African American had very well. It also shows how much damage the Ku Klux Klan did to the African American race beacause the painter put it equal to slavery through depicting it into the other eye. This painting is extremely powerful and just makes you feel the sadness the African Americans had during this time.
