The painting was originally known as Adele Bloch-Bauer, but the Nazi’s changed the name so it could be displayed (Stamberg, n.p.).

This is why cars do not last as long as they used to, it is why the cost of a new television is not significantly higher than the cost of television repair, and it is why restaurants continue to proliferate across the map, hopping from retail corner to retail corner to chase families down before they can get home and cook their own meals. This trend began in the wake of the Great Depression; while it was largely the mobilization of industry for World War II that brought ...

Many people are under the assumption that art exhibitions must contain paintings, sculptures, drawings, or other traditional forms of art. The artist must use paint, clay, or pencil to capture a feeling, a message, or an appeal, putting it on display for the audience.

The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology acknowledges there are other art forms. FIT displays all types of artistic fashion as an exhibition to man’s triumphs and failures through time. Two recent ...
