Comedy and Tragedy Masks - Symbol of Theater & Dramatic Arts #3862562 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white illustration features the classic comedy ( smiling, eyes closed) and tragedy (frowning, downcast eyes) masks, tied together by flowing ribbons. Rooted in ancient Greek theater, these symbols represent the dual nature of dramatic performance-highlighting emotional contrast and narrative depth. They remain widely used in modern contexts to denote theater, acting schools, festivals, and cultural institutions.
