Abstract

The present work of degree that has for title "Art and social conflict a violence without control" has as objective to develop in a proposal a diptych realized in painting of the expressionism oriented to the violence focusing as main character the feminine figure, approaching the historical antecedents on the violence problem that arises around the world and of how it has given its evolution with the course of the time. Expressionism was an avant-garde movement originated in Germany that developed in the early twentieth century, coinciding with the French Fauvism, with which it has few similarities with each other, some of the most striking features of this artistic movement was that they represented reality in a more subjective way, breaking a little the schemes of beauty that were known, as its name itself explains it sought to show the feelings through expressions. Taking into account the characteristics that stand out most in the works of the expressionist movement are among them the absence of light and shadow in an orderly manner being thus intentionally altered to cause a greater connection between the viewer and the work. The painting is intended to convey a message that carries a very close relationship with its composition, in this diptych represented the social problems that generate many losses being thus not only affected women, but also all those who live around them in an environment of frequent conflict. The composition shows a hidden look inside a hole full of darkness, fear and uncertainty when wanting to defend herself and not having the courage to know that she can be assaulted again and silence her voice forever, the fists allude to the aggressive words that are often issued by her cohabitant with whom they should have a solid home and not full of fear and insecurities, while in the other pictorial representation the same problem is evident with different actions. Currently there are many prevention programs for battered women, but nevertheless they are not enough, because the increase of women who suffer some kind of abuse, whether physical or psychological, continues to occur day after day. Undoubtedly, the role of women in society has always been complicated. Some sectors of society have pointed to women as the weaker sex and also that through time she has had to endure different types of abuse and submit silently to this situation. Through time it has been possible to insert women into the development of society in a creative way and according to their situation in work outside the home. These tasks developed lately in public or private institutions have changed the way of thinking of these social sectors that used to label women only in domestic tasks. Women are a fundamental pillar, therefore it is no less important to emphasize the suffering to which many of them are subjected day by day, by those who are believed to be the person who loves them and should be treated with flattery, not with blows or insults.
