  • Caravaggio And Fra Filippo Lippi
    1,266 words
    Much of the art of the Renaissance was extremely religious in its nature. The paintings from this time are almost entirely scenes from the Bible including: the enunciation of the Virgin Mary, depictions of the infant Jesus Christ, the crucifixion of Christ, and numerous other examples of Christian iconography. One would imagine that virtuous, upstanding artists would have created such angelic works of art. The stunning displays of morality, as seen in the works of many Renaissance painters, are ...
  • Miriam Schapiro's Artistic Life
    1,150 words
    "Sources of her art were inseparable from her history and from the historical times in which she lived. Hence the politics of biography One's art is, after all, oneself " This statement by Frida Kahlo is an accurate reflection of the artistic life, led by American artist Miriam Schapiro.

Living ...
  • Mann's Novella Death In Venice
    2,165 words

  • Monarchs And Miss Churm And Oronte
    1,015 words
    One of the characteristics of Realism, in American literature at least, is the ironic use of perceptions of "appearance" vs. "reality". With this in mind, Henry James's "The Real Thing" and "The Beast in the Jungle" are two works wherein such characteristics can be shown to operate as James employs cleverly woven twists of "appearance" and "reality" in each of the plots. In James's "The Real Thing", the plot is centered on an unnamed artist and his interactions with two sets of models: the Monar...
  • Every Moment Of His Life
    884 words
    All art is quite useless If people were labeled with just one word to represent them, to sum up their many chapters of life, one word to define them completely, then the label you'd least come across would be that of artist. Seldom does one come to this earth with the natural ability, the gift to see the world as a painting, freshly finished on his canvas. The power to be forever praised on the walls of aging art museums. And the shear courage to go through life as an anomaly, a rare breed that ...

    741 words
    Vanitas Vanitas, found in many recent pieces, is a style of painting begun in the 17th Century by Dutch artists.

Using still-life as their milieu, those artists and others like them provide the viewer with ideas regarding the brevity of life.

  • Economist's Point Of View A Beggar
    1,118 words
    An old, sick beggar. A sight that brings out the pity in almost any human being. How can it not? A beggar who does not have enough food to eat, no shelter against the rain clothes that are not warm enough. All these things are enough to drive someone crazy. Picture this: you have at least one warm meal every day, you have clothes that can keep you warm in any winter, you have a home to go every night. A beggar has none of these. Imagine you being deprived of even the simplest of your possessions...
