Painting Extra Credit

For me this painting is an example of dark art, something that is not meant to be hung up on a wall in a house. After observing this picture I can see that the artist might have been depressed when he painted it, since I think that death is our biggest fear, and only people who are in extreme depression or have some mental illness kill themselves. I’m not saying that the artist is depressed or a psycho, I just believe that he was going through a though time. This painting is, for me, the opposite of happiness; it is just seeing the world with negative eyes. This is because of the excess of the black color, the black cross, and also because of the words kill and terror that are written in it. The painting gives out a strong emotion of fear and awareness, that’s why I chose it.
