Art that has the 4th role of the artist:
GIVE FORM TO HIDDEN OR UNIVERSAL TRUTHS, SPIRITUAL FORCES, AND PERSONAL FEELINGS.
The work that I chose was “four stills from battleship Potemkin” by Sergei Eisenstein I chose this because I think it is a great example of the 4th role. Eisenstein directed a movie where I believe the stills are from. I think what he was trying to say was in a time of death and war we don’t really understand what happens; these pictures are vary graphic and make you think about what our troops right now are seeing and experiencing. The still that really hit me was a picture of the mom holding her son who is all bloody; how many people feel like they have to do that when they hear their son or daughter has been killed in the Middle East. I think he was trying to reveal the universal truths and feelings about how gross, unnecessary, and violent war really is.
