Comedy and Tragedy Masks - Symbol of Drama and Theater Arts #1214241 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing depicts the traditional theatrical masks of comedy (smiling, eyes crinkled) and tragedy (mouth open in sorrow, brows furrowed), rooted in ancient Greek drama. These masks were historically worn by actors to amplify expression and voice in large amphitheaters, and today they symbolize the full spectrum of human emotion in storytelling. Their stark contrast embodies the dual nature of dramatic art-joy and sorrow, humor and pathos.
