What is a convention that Social Realist Ben Shahn used in his painting The Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti?

The Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti, painting by Ben Shahn, showing three men standing with flowers in hand near two coffins

Shahn made a strong statement about a historical event of the eighteenth century.

Shahn used flat shapes and sharp, angular forms to create abstract figures.

Shahn placed the most important figures in the center, representing them the most realistically.

Shahn employed a bold, Expressionist color palette to enhance the drama.

Clay is a good medium to sculpt because its shape can be changed easily

It would. a painted portrait would be an important thing because they are official and take real artists to paint and if it was a painted portrait it would mean that there's seriousness and a desire to work together. portraits are maybe even more so important today because they are not a mainstream thing and are made only when we want to impress someone since they take time and will.sending a picture would not be the same as sending a portrait because a picture is just taken with a camera and there's no soul to it. if a picture is a painted one then it can reaffirm, especially if both states people are in it. if it's just a photograph then there wouldn't be much to it.things today are different because there's photographs everywhere and seeing pictures has lost its meaning since they are so abundant and found everywhere. all newspapers have pictures and just sending the same picture as everyone has would not mean much since it's easily obtainable.  perception of authority has changed over the years because the people trust their governments less and less as years go by. before world war two, governments were trusted and presidents were believed to work for the good of the country. nowadays, everyone is looking out for things that might bring the downfall of governments since it has been shown that governments often do bad things to say in power.

Neo impressionists created many works in the mid 1880s depicting scenery of modern paris, urban areas, and coastal shores. the movement was founded by george seurat who painted the famous pointilistic peice “a sunday afternoon on the island of la grande”best of luck! : )
