The primary Freudian influence is the emphasis of the unconscious mind. Here, the
subconscious mind is assumed to govern the behavior to a bigger extent than most people think.
For this reason, the purpose of psychoanalysis is to turn the unconscious to be conscious.
What is the difference between expressionism and abstract expressionism?
In expressionism, the world is seen as the source of suffering. Here, it is hard for an
individual to avoid this world but has to deal with it. On the other hand, abstract expressionism is
about cosmic energy which relates to the subconscious mind.
Explain how Dada might be reflective of the change in society as a result of science opposed

instead of the use of eyes. This is because during the time of Freud’s theories as well as Marx’s
Communisms, the society seemed to be turned upside down. It denotes the irrational art
movement which aimed at restoring the application of mind in performing tasks.
