Why was symbolic language necessary in nationalist images?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it could give a political message without long writing
The governing concept is symbolic communication. Ideas such as nation, liberty and unity are abstract, so they cannot be shown directly like a physical object. Artists used familiar signs, colours, figures and objects to give these ideas a visible form. Thus, symbolic language communicated a political message quickly to many people, even without lengthy written explanations. Options B, C and D do not explain its nationalist purpose.
