Research Paper
Introduction
Nicotye Samayualie, a Canadian Inuit from Cape Dorset, was born on the 23rd of November 1983. Her parents are Johnny Tunnillie Samayualie and Kudluajuk Ashoona, and her grandmother is a famous graphic artist, Keeleemeeoome Samayualie. She has clearly inherited her grandmother's artistry, whose art works were one of those few exhibited in the Cape Dorset yearly print anthology in the 1970s and 1980s (Spirit Wrestler Gallery, 2016). Nicotye has developed a strong fascination with the display, arrangements, and layouts of contrasting images in natural and artificial objects. Numerous of her artworks portray common images like crates ...

Abstract Expressionism is one of the most recent and modern art movements which originated in USA. Regionalism and Social Realism, two art movements yielded and inspired by The Great Depression, were the precedents of the Abstract Expressionism movement (Stella). Both Regionalism and Social Realism inspired art during 1930s but they were not sufficient to express the artistic creativity of some artists leading them to create a new movement which they called Abstract Expressionism (Stella). Abstract Expressionism developed during 1940s and artists of this movement gave more importance and emphasis on the authenticity of their art resulting from its direct and ...

Abstract

For the purpose of this paper, I will be discussing the East Pediment of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, as well as a terracotta bell-krater attributed to the Methyse Painter, and comparing both works in terms of their composition, formal elements, and cultural context. The selection of these works allows for two central activities of the Greeks to be compared, especially ones represented by their own divine figures. The east pediment and the Dionysian vase feature two distinct sides of Greek culture – the former showcasing Greek’s love of justice, and the latter the Greek’s love of wine ...

Edward Hopper’s painting ‘Nighthawks’ (1942) hangs in the Art Institute of Chicago. It depicts a diner occupied by three lonely customers and a waiter who serves them. The painting’s point of view is from the outside looking in, and the connecting street is empty. The streets are empty and seem to wrap around the diner which is occupied by its four solitary individuals in a brightly lit diner that is harshly set against the night. It is late at night, presumably, and only the nighthawks are on the town. In this paper, it will be argued that Edward Hopper’s ...

Roald Dahl in his writings has been very categorical on how he perceives human nature all the way from the earlier centuries. He came up with distinct and unique analogies in regards to this issue. One of his most famous books is ‘Lamb to the slaughter’. (West 3) This is a story that demonstrates Dahl’s exceptional ability to look at aspects of human perversity, hostility and also aggression. His writing and how he brings out the story shows he is detached narrator and also some aspects of black. He also a comical narrator as depicted in his literary writings for ...

After the century in which Vincent van Gogh lived, the early twentieth century was a period of continuous change in politics, economy, and society. The revolutionized printing press liberated the people’s minds from the curtains of naiveté and transformed the society into a modernized culture where freedom of expression is highly valued. Frida Kahlo was a female Mexican artist who often noted through her expressive self-portraits which are characterized by her solid and thick eyebrows similar to a man. Her paintings reflect the pain, her dreams, and her life hidden from the public view.

Oscar Wilde said, “Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.” This punishment that Oscar Wilde speaks of us is what makes self-actualization an incomparably rewarding but also increasingly lonely path. But the gift of fulfillment, wonder, and delight that it offers keeps us going, keeps us evolving towards a higher consciousness. Dreaming is an entryway into that endless field of energy. Modern day dysfunction undercuts the spiritual aspect of existence with its focus on the material ...

Harry Potter and his companions reliably break controls and endeavor to take care of adult issues out of the question of grown-up ability, brainpower, and inspiration. In spite of the fact that the postulated conduct may be regular in teenagers' writing, the Harry Potter series, particularly in later portions, takes rebellion of the youth to an incredible extent. Harry's family is feeble and gutless; rich characters are voracious and despicable. In the film series, visuals like neighborhoods with many indistinguishable houses fortify the thought of heedless congruity. The suggestion is that this designed world reflects the estimations of today's ...

The enslavement of African people is a dark period in American history. It was a system in which individuals were treated as they were property, and of a lesser status, because they were foreign and of a different color. Slavery so profoundly affected the nation and the two colliding cultures that racism still runs deep in America today because of it. Many Americans today brush off the idea of slavery, believe that it is in the past and does not matter. However, it still matters very much to a large portion of the country, and is still an important part of the country’s ...

Langston Hughes short story “On The Road” is about a black man who travels across the country on railways. The story shares similarities of motion and travel that is found in Falkner’s short story “Barn Burning.” In “On the Road” we see a character interacting with other characters through the motion of travel. In “Barn Burning” the characters appear from a crowd, through a court system, which is endeavoring to discover who is to blame for it. Then the motion in “Barn Burning” continues to a wagon that moves across the country. In both story, and in the poems, “I, Too” and “The ...

America is a diverse country with different colored people scatter all over different states. It has a long history of colonialism and cultural evolution. When thinking of terms like “colored” or “race”, our first mind may often come with African Americans. Perhaps the civil war or the civil right movement has marked a huge monument in the American history, it has ended the injustice and cruel treatment of people living in the same country who supposed to be united. The slavery and the segregation were abolished; the hanging trees and violence were all over. However, racism still exists through stereotype causing by ...

In the two decades leading up to World War II, there was considerable criticism leveled against the genre of the comic book, because there was the fear that the multicolored magazines would lead to the erosion of conventional literacy, including such competencies as the ability to focus on plain text, read sequentially from left to right, as well as the misguided notion that conventional literature dealt with acceptable subject matter that steered clear of controversy, while comic books had edgier content (anyone who had read James Joyce, for example, knew that this last claim simply was not true). Once ...
