critique of a single tear

A Single Tear 1

A Single Tear

Paintings can have all sorts of meanings . Usually , painters use these pieces of art to express themselves on things they cannot normally do Sometimes , it can also be a product of imagination . At times , they want to visualize a series of events into one artwork . These paintings turn out to be abstracts but along the lines and colors used , there is still a hidden meaning enclosed in them . This what makes paintings interesting and mysterious

The lithograph represents the typical Indian leader amidst struggles

br and tests of life . No matter how strong and determined a leader is , he still has his weak moments and the snow and wind symbolize the stumbling blocks .

By imperfection , it means that each person despite of his stature and position becomes fragile sometimes . The Indian Chief in the painting is experiencing vulnerability but he must live up to his dignity and sense of worth . As to his case , what urged him not to give up is for the sake of his people who look up to him being the person in command . If he surrenders , then his people would lose hope . His courage marks the fate of the American Indians

The single tear also denotes faith and hope . Faith in that after the storm...
