Isabella Comparative Study, HL

This HL Comparative Study looks at 3 artworks that explore the human condition of isolation and alienation within modern urban contexts: Edward Hopper´s portraits of solitary figures evoking loneliness, George Segal´s faceless tableaux of apathy, and Zeng Fanzhi's disturbing portrayal of urban alienation in contemporary China. This makes for a comparison rich in connections, with many opportunities for analyzing cultural significance and differing functions and purpose.

Well chosen artworks for a high scoring CS: 7 (40 out of 42 marks)

 HL Connections (F)
