Artists understand that humans experience universal emotions. Emoji designers simplify the face, reducing it to the fewest lines and shapes needed to communicate an emotion. For her series Family Pictures and Stories, contemporary photographer Carrie Mae Weems takes a candid photo of a woman conveying spontaneous joy. French artist Joseph Ducreux realistically renders himself in a mischievous pose to create his playful 1793 self-portrait. American artist Alice Neel uses expressive brushstrokes, highlights, and shadows to paint her 1955 Georgie Arce, showing a boy smiling. To make his 1964 comic book-inspired work, Happy Tears, American Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein stylizes his subject’s facial features.
