After studying and viewing a bunch of different pieces of art, it is clear that there are three functions of art; personal, social, and physical. These functions do and normally overlap in any given piece of art. The first function, the personal function is the most difficult to explain. It can vary from person to person and can deal with many different feelings and emotions. The second function, the social function deals with specific periods of life, or events that may have happened in life that affect many people. This function of art doesn't look at just one persons feelings towards something, but instead a whole group of people and how they as a whole see something. And the last function is probably the simplest function, the physical function. This function deals with works of art that are created to perform some service.

These photos along with many others can all be interpreted to contain some or all of the functions of art. Depending on your own interpretations of art and your beliefs, everyone may have different views and opinions of these pieces.
