As the communications evolved, the emoticons became more elaborate and now it’s possible to express the sadness with a number of sad faces ranging from just sad to screaming in agony. It’s sent to show we feel somebody’s pain or we simply feel down.
We all know and love the Smiley Face, but we use its opposite, the Sad Face just as much. As graphic design formed over time, the simple, re-usable symbols of sad face have been multiplying. Often are old graves crowned with crying angels, bearing flowers and spilling tears over the deceased. Perhaps some of the most touching depictions of sad faces can be found in cemeteries, where sadness is the resident. All of these works contain a level of drama different than ordinary, tranquil scenes, They are moving, saddening and captivating in their own right. Remember Lichtenstein painting Crying Girl from the 1960s, the depiction of a sad modern woman, crying because of unreturned love. Sad faces of modern men and women flooded the figurative contemporary art, from the early modernity to pop art. Their depictions range from subtle crying portraits, to inspiring photographs of grief stricken people, to portrayals of wild pain, as it one of the most iconic paintings of all times, The Scream by Munch. But painters have always sought to find something beautiful in a sad face, the glow in a tear, the purity of the blue emotion. Inspired by the power of sadness, poets have always produced spirited lyrics inducing waterfalls of tears.
