Lovers of classical art increasingly disapprove, convinced that the essence of true art is lost in France. In 1852, a lithograph titled 'Lovers of classical art more and more convinced that art is lost in France' captures their discontentment with the contemporary artistic scene. An oil painting called 'A Reproval' further exemplifies this sentiment as it portrays an individual expressing disapproval towards someone or something. The artist's brushstrokes vividly depict the emotions involved in such disapproving encounters. Even historical events are not spared from disapproval, as seen in the caption 'CHARLES I WEDS H. MARIA. ' This union might have faced scrutiny and criticism during its time, reflecting societal disapproval towards certain alliances. Religious themes also come under scrutiny, evident through artworks like 'GOD & HIS ANGELS, ' 'GOD AND HIS ANGELS, ' and even satirical cartoons like 'The Bounder of Europe' during World War I. These pieces highlight how religious beliefs can be subject to questioning and criticism. Moving away from traditional forms of artwork, a still from the 1921 motion picture 'Astray from the Steerage' showcases individuals who have deviated from societal norms or expectations. Their actions may be met with disdain by those who adhere strictly to conventionality. Silent film stills such as 'Man & Woman' and 'Offices' capture moments where characters express their dissatisfaction or disagreement silently but powerfully through body language or facial expressions. Intriguingly, even entertainment venues like Belgian Cabarets face disapproval for their unconventional performances that challenge social norms dating back to the 15th century. Lastly, we witness biblical figures facing reproach too; David with King Achish depicts a moment where David's actions were questioned and criticized by others around him.
