What it means: 中文 · हिन्दी · नेपाली · Tiếng Việt
中文: 在浪漫主义运动时期，表现变得重要起来，艺术作品表达一种明确的感受，如崇高或戏剧性。观众的反应很重要，因为艺术作品旨在唤起情感上的回应。这一定义在今天仍然成立，艺术家们力求与观众建立联系并唤起他们的回应。
हिन्दी: रोमांटिक आंदोलन के दौरान अभिव्यक्ति महत्वपूर्ण हो गई, जिसमें कलाकृति एक निश्चित भावना व्यक्त करती थी, जैसे उदात्त या नाटकीय। दर्शकों की प्रतिक्रिया महत्वपूर्ण थी, क्योंकि कलाकृति का उद्देश्य भावनात्मक प्रतिक्रिया जगाना था। यह परिभाषा आज भी सही है, क्योंकि कलाकार अपने दर्शकों से जुड़ना और उनसे प्रतिक्रिया पाना चाहते हैं।
नेपाली: रोमान्टिक आन्दोलनका बेला अभिव्यक्ति महत्त्वपूर्ण बन्यो, जहाँ कलाकृतिले उदात्त वा नाटकीय जस्ता निश्चित भावना व्यक्त गर्थ्यो। दर्शकको प्रतिक्रिया महत्त्वपूर्ण थियो, किनकि कलाकृतिको उद्देश्य भावनात्मक प्रतिक्रिया जगाउनु थियो। यो परिभाषा आज पनि सही छ, किनकि कलाकारहरू आफ्ना दर्शकसँग जोडिन र उनीहरूबाट प्रतिक्रिया जगाउन खोज्छन्।
Tiếng Việt: Sự biểu đạt trở nên quan trọng trong phong trào Lãng mạn, khi tác phẩm nghệ thuật thể hiện một cảm xúc rõ ràng, như sự cao cả hay kịch tính. Phản ứng của khán giả rất quan trọng, vì tác phẩm được tạo ra để khơi gợi phản ứng cảm xúc. Định nghĩa này đến nay vẫn đúng, khi các nghệ sĩ tìm cách kết nối và khơi gợi phản ứng từ người xem.
