Pathos refers to the ability to arouse strong feelings and touch the audience emotionally. It is a tool used in literature, theatre and rhetoric to create compassion, sadness or joy. Gesture, on the other hand, encompasses the physical forms of expression that accompany and reinforce our words. It can be subtle or exaggerated and plays a decisive role in how messages are perceived. Together, pathos and gesture form a powerful combination that makes it possible to convey complex emotions and ideas in a way that is both moving and thought-provoking. In art and in everyday life, they are indispensable means of authentically expressing human experience. The works of the artists of the Kunstverein Baden deal with the theme of pathos and gesture.
