Answer:

Artists viewed the as a tragic thing so they made paintings to warn the near future about such things happening. Evidence shows what emotion the artist felt  As of right now some may write a book about this pandemic and how he/she viewed it  

Explanation:

Healing power

In the 17th Century, many people believed that imagination had the power to harm or heal. The French artist Nicolas Poussin painted The Plague of Ashdod (1630-1631) in the middle of a plague outbreak in Italy. In a recreation of a faraway tragic biblical scene, which provokes feelings of horror and despair,  

The plague of smallpox devastated Japan over many centuries. An artwork created in 1892 depicts the mythical Samurai warrior Minamoto no Tametomo resisting the two smallpox gods, variola major and variola minor. The warrior, known for his endurance and fortitude, is portrayed as strong and confident, clothed with viscerally red ornate garments and armed with swords and a quiver full of arrows. In contrast, the fleeing, frightened, colourless smallpox gods are squeezed helplessly into the corner of the image.

Navigating pain through the self-portrait

Modern and contemporary artists have created self-portraits to make sense of their own plague suffering, while simultaneously contemplating the transcendent themes of life and death.

When the Spanish Flu hit Europe just after World War One, Norwegian artist Edvard Munch became one of its victims. While his body was still grappling with the flu, he painted his trauma – pale, exhausted and lonely, with an open mouth. The gaping mouth echoes his most famous work, The Scream, and perhaps depicts Munch’s difficulty breathing at the time. There is a strong sense of disorientation and disintegration, with the figure and furniture blending together in a delirium of perception. The artist’s sheet looks like a corpse or a fitful sleeper, tossing and turning in the night. Unlike some of Munch’s previous depictions of illness, in which he portrays the sick person’s loved ones waiting with anxiety and fear, the artist here portrays himself as the victim, who has to endure this plague isolated and alone.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: His racial-ethnic identity seems to be:___, in regards to Keyshaw, an African American student who starts to realize the differences that exist between himself and his school peers as he became aware of his status as member of an ethnic minority, would be: marginalizing him, or causing marginality.

Explanation:

Ethnicity, and especially ethnic identity when it comes to racial and ethnic minorities, can become a difficult issue to handle in the face of these minorities being in the middle of larger groups of ethnic majority. Keyshaw is an African American, member of a minority, and he becomes aware of this during his school years. When this realization happens, Keyshaw begins to feel different from the others in his group, friends or no friends, and starts to discover that there are other differences that also make him different from the larger group. As a result of this process of awareness, Keyshaw´s ethnic identity is driving him to become isolated, differentiated and marginalized from the larger group, and this is called marginality.
