ABSTRACT
In the history of literature and modern-plastic arts, every description of human gesture and mimics is faciliated through daily observations of the faces of others by the artist. Most of these observations are unintended, spontaneous and instinctive. The facial nerve is declaring, conveying every human feeling wordlessly and the artist depicts these impressions in her/his works. All depends on an actively functioning facial nerve.
