Comedy and Tragedy Masks - Symbol of Theater and Dramatic Arts #3628378 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line illustration depicts the traditional Greek theater masks: one with a joyful, upturned smile denoting comedy, and the other with a sorrowful, downturned mouth signifying tragedy. These masks originated in ancient Greek drama to amplify facial expressions for large amphitheaters and have since become universal symbols of the performing arts. Their stark contrast embodies the full spectrum of human emotion explored through theater.
