Tragedy and Art

      The Greeks were the first to use tragedy but they certainly weren't the last.  Since the great tragedies, artists have created their own interpretations about tragedy and the human condition.  Art is a celebration of life and often centers around emotion.  Many of the strongest emotions felt are tragic: pain, agony, despair, anguish.  Artists use these strong feelings to create their works and express their own thoughts and ideas about tragedy.
