Ever since the first ever stages of art (Hieroglyphics) it has been used as a form too captured moments of history so that they can be remembered. In fact, a lot of early history wouldn’t be known without art telling us the story of what happened. A great Example of an art form that is sometimes used to portray moments of history is Early modern art. Although we already had the radio and most people in first world countries could either red or right Early modern art was an important form of art used to portray event of world wars so people could receive a more visual sense of the events that were taking place and what they looked like.

First of all, I would like to convince you that Art (specifically from The early modern and present era of art) is a great resource for preserving history. I will do this by showing you three different works from the Early modern art era that portray the world wars and three different current works of art that portray modern history and then commenting on their influence.

The first image I have chosen is “Flower Of Death” painted by American artist Claggett Wilson in 1919. This work of art was fundamental to the portrayal of the use of mustard gas in world war one. During world war one the invention and use of mustard gas had come to be used in war. However for all the Americans back home they had only heard of the horrific effects of mustard gas. But with this beautiful work of art people were able to see the perspective from a first-hand account of what mustard gas looks like and the effects of it. One of my favorite things about this work of art is its use of the Art element Color, The painting portrays a beautiful pallet of yellow that helps the viewer see what a sky of mustard gas would look like.SARGENT-GASSED-IWM,LONDON

The second image I have chosen is “Trench warfare ” painted by German artist Otto Dix in1932. The painting portrays the damage and aftermath of trench warfare battle during World war one.  Although there are lots of images that portrayed trench warfare that came out during or after world war one this particular image was important because it came out while the world was on the brink of world war 2. Although this image didn’t stop the war by any means it did help remind people of our dark history surrounded by world war one. This work of art does an incredible job of portraying the art element Space as when I look at it I can immediately see the depth of the trench and vastness of the open wasteland.

Trench Warfare

The third image from the Early Modern art era that I have chosen is “The Second Battle of Ypres” painted by Canadian painter Major Richard Jack in 1919 is a great example of Historic preservation as it brings to light a historic event in which most people aren’t familiar with. This perfectly sums up the reasoning for historic preservation as this work of art has the ability to intrigue people and look into a historic event that they are unaware of. This painting has a great use of the art element of a focal point as when the viewer looks at the painting they are immediately drawn to the soldier whose head is bandaged and pointing to the incoming enemy troops.

I truly do believe that art is an incredible source for preserving history so that everyone may be aware and I hope that this has taken this point home for you.

Answer:

It was a movie titled; The Legend of Princess Inikpi

The movie is centered around a Kingdom called the Igala Kingdom that was on the brink of a war with the Fulani Tribe and the Igala tribe was outnumbered and needed drastic help. The Chief priest had to consult the gods of the land to seek help as regards the war that was to come.

The message from the gods was that the Kings daughter (Princess Inikpi) had to be sacrificed for the victory of the Igala People along-side 7 of her maidens.

Now, there was an outburst of drama and inconsistency as regards the mothers approval of such act but regardless, the Princess herself agreed to the bidding.

The King gave the order to the chief priest and preparations begun. The sacrifice ceremony began and the Chief Priest insisted they all be buried together after beheading the servants.

The sacrifice happened and they were all put in the hole. This act bestowed the Igala warriors with the gift of Invincibility while fighting against their enemies (Fulani Tribe) and it helped them win the war.

(The artistic vision I noticed)

  • While the servants were being beheaded, I noticed an almost irregular blood spurge like a dam busted open which I believe was a slight production error. They ought to have noticed that,
  • Finally, I noticed the singular hole dug out for all of these people to be buried was not more that 4 feet deep and from an artistic point of view, that's almost an impossibility except those people were chopped into pieces which was not the case.

In expressing Art, one must be critical with it especially in Visual Expressions as the human mind is a natural critique and will not fail to notice irregularities in Artistic Displays.
