In his paper, Notes of a Painter, Henri Matisse presents the idea that art should be able to speak for itself and should present itself, in a way, that a context is not mandatory to appreciate the art piece. He says that expression does not lie in passionate human face or violent movements. He believes the entire setting in a picture is expressive and everything plays its role in projecting the image of the artwork. So if something is not useful in a picture, it obviously means that it is harmful. He believes that expression lies in the very composition of the picture too, ...

A lot of information is easily made available, and it helps people to have “immediate access to such an incredibly rich store of information” according to Carr.

Kimmel has managed to illustrate a critical point on society and masculinity. The idea that a “man” should always have a strong and countenance devoid of weak emotions like crying is valid to many societies today. Unconsciously, the society has become accustomed to the predictability of manhood that no one seems to focus on the emerging male stereotypes. As a male child grows, the family bestows on him certain levels of faith of manhood that synonymously coincides with the predictions of Kimmel. In my life as I grew up, for instance, my parents kept chiding any attempt of constant crying. Of course, they ...

Metaphors effectively convey the message about intertexuality because a reader’s understanding of the context of the words used by the writer produces the overall meaning of a written work. When the writers use metaphors, the readers are able to get the message because these words represent bits and pieces of experiences which the reader already has a knowledge of. The meaning of a text becomes fuller because of the reader’s previous knowledge. The metaphors, therefore, facilitate a greater understanding about the texts and enables the reader to enter into a discourse community. In the discussion of intertexuality, James E.

Baudrillard mentions that postmodern simulacra and simulation are no longer a question of imitation but rather an analysis of how images of the real are substituting for the real. However, he does not suggest that the postmodern culture is fully artificial since the concept of artificiality still needs some sense of reality against which to recognize the deceit. To simulate refers to the pretence of having what one doesn’t have while the opposite (dissimulate) refers to the pretence of not having what one has. However, simulating is not pretending since it threatens the difference between reality and imagination while ...
