The trade deals between Japan and Europe facilitated the entrance of Japanese prints, the ukiyo-e, in the Western world. In 1849 the first Japanese prints, belonging to Hokusai entered the West, sometime after the death of the Japanese artist. Nevertheless, the first recognizance of the Japanese influence in French art was marked by the Exposition Universelle from 1867, hosted at Champs de Mars, in Paris. Although Hokusai’s art was not much appreciated in Japan, where other, more elevated painting styles were preferred, the artist’s work found appreciation in French art, where it has become influential for reputable ...

Henry Fox was among the pioneers who inspired the art of photography just five years after its invention. By then, people were only used to drawings and thus photography was a completely new phenomenon. He published his first book which was mass produced for the audiences depicting how fast the art gained populace. The photographers by then struggled to convince the population that was used to painting as a form of art accept photographs as another form of art. The population valued the level of creativity in the drawings and the uniqueness of the themes therein represented. In the ...

The complexities of racism, and the ways in which society should end it, remains intriguing fodder for literature. Some of the most intriguing portrayals of these arguments are in Frances Watkins Harper’s “The Slave Auction” and “The Slave Mother,” Luis Valdez’s “Los Vendidos,” and Zitkala-Sa’s School Days of an Indian Girl. While Harper’s direct, anguished portrayals of the evils of the slave trade elicit an implicit argument to stop these practices and end their pain, Valdez is more explicit in his call for aggressive revolution and demolishing of stereotypes, and Zitkala-Sa similarly advocates for a ...

Art, architecture, and design are very important clues for historians to figure out what exactly a civilization, culture and society valued. Architecture, in particular, is a very important part of a larger material culture which may be used by historians as clues to figure out what impact these decisions had on the larger culture and the way each society organizes itself. In this sense, it is almost nearly inescapable that each piece of art or building will not in some way or another influence our thinking regarding how each of these societies is organized. This is true everywhere around ...

The central theme that will be focused on in this paper is white supremacy. To summarize what this means, it is basically a concept or belief (often among white people themselves) that suggests that white people are superior in terms of all aspects of like to people of all other races, most especially the colored ones or the black people. Because of this kind of reasoning, white people tend to develop the tendency to think that they should dominate society on a global scale.

The Baroque Era began in the 17th century was a period of artistic style that greatly contrasts the shabby and simple depictions of natural humanism; although the style still revered the Humanist idealism of depicting human figures as close to reality, the artists sought to be different from its predecessor art movement.

Originally, the term for this flamboyant artistic movement came from the word ‘Barocco’ or irregular shaped pearl later changed to ...

Modernism created Post-Modernism and the emergence of these two influential art movements created a lasting impact on the artists’ perception of iconography. The history concerning modernism dates back in the Renaissance period since the majority of the artists at that time explored various kinds of iconography such as painting mythological creatures, portraiture, and humanism which contrasts the iconography of the Medieval period. But the lasting effects of the modern period were felt in the early 19th century up to the early phase of the 20th century.

Painting and art have been part of the Chinese culture for centuries, and the type of art the Chinese civilizations engaged in distinguish them from vast western arts. In this regards, major artists have attributed the Chinese art as having a unique essence, compared to the aesthetic art embraced by western cultures. Therefore, different authors have bid to explain the uniqueness of the Chinese painting and art, but in doing so, they have also had different methodologies and approaches of attaining a similar goal. For instance, Wen and Kathlyn, both wrote about Chinese art and painting, but their methodologies ...

For centuries, artists continued to paint humanistic iconography based on the works of the Classical Greco-Roman artists; from the medieval perspective, the 15th and the 18th centuries focused on depicting images that were derived from various sources such as mythology and religious scenes. Some patrons occasionally commission artists to paint portraits that reflect their actual faces. However, by the late 19th century up to the early phase of the 20th century, the Modern period spearheaded the development of new avant-garde styles and the rejection of humanism in visual arts by reducing the subjects into something that is defined only ...

Communication

Arabs and Arab- Americans for a long time now have faced stereotyping in Western films as a result of the negative way in which their cultures socialization and beliefs are depicted. This uncouth prejudice of Arabs has been as a result of being affiliated to terrorist and criminal acts. Stereotyping involves having false thoughts and ideas about certain people concerning their way of life, values and virtues. This misrepresentation of Arabs and Arab- Americans in films has led to a lot of negativity in the society surrounding these groups of people. As a result of the characteristics of Arabs ...

Ernest Hemingway is one of those artists, who like to expose themselves any way they like. Hemingway often used irony in his writings when depicting characters, which had life stories full of muddle and difficulties. Not many writers can boast of such an innovation brought to literature, but William Dean Howells can. He began as a critic, and later became a novelist – he is considered the champion of literary realism, who depicted each aspect of society without any embellishment. He sought to pass his own impressions to readers, to arouse their imagination and feelings – the same ones as Howells ...

The article by Crafton is devoted to the profound analysis of major characteristics of a famous silent animated series “Felix the Cat” and investigation of the work of people who made efforts for creating the character of Felix and the series as a whole. It is noticed that “Felix the Cat,” which was created in the cooperation of Otto Messmer and Pat Sullivan, “was the quintessential cartoon of the 1920s and the favorite of growing number of aficionados of the medium” (Crafton 301). Thus, it is hugely fascinating to increase the knowledge on the cartoon. Crafton’s article begins ...

More and more films depicting people from the minority groups come out in theatres all over the world.

This paper is thus going to compare three French films depicting the life of the individuals with those shot in the United States.

When traveling, people often include famous museums in their itinerary as this is a great way to get familiar with the history and culture of the country. Moreover, they get to see famous artwork and exhibits that cannot be seen anywhere else under one roof. Museums are undoubtedly the storehouse of a history and culture of a county. I was fortunate to make a visit to the famous Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). I learned about the current collection galleries and temporary exhibitions and the special offers and discounts going on at the website of LACMA (LACMA ...

Among all the films shot about Batman, there is one that plays a significant role in the famous series, namely Batman Begins by Christopher Nolan. Shot in 2005, the film amazed me both with the intertextual codes and the visual representation. Having watched almost all the films including this DC character, it is safe to say Batman Begins is the best one to me and my favorite one. Objectively speaking, it was not the most successful among others due to the numerous factors but still, there is something in this film that makes it special. The reason might be ...

The human figure and its presentation in the art are some of the most important aspects in portraying how the world has become civilized over time. The nature of depicting the human figure has considerably changed in different eras, as shown in the three pieces of art shown below.

Rubbish in Design

INTRODUCTION The question of rubbish in design has assumed increasing significance in recent years. The late modernity in artistic expression, particularly in design, has made a strong case of incorporating everyday elements into different artistic expressions including, most notably, painting, sculpture, photography and installations. In so doing, artistic expression has metamorphosed from a rather distanced engagement in "mundane" (made into loftier expressions by professional artistic design) into an actual immersion into day-to-day actualities in order to render "real" objects in different kaleidoscopic representations, particularly in still and video installations. The emergence of rubbish (assuming "rubbish" is disposable objects ridded ...

Goodfellas (1990) Examples of filming techniques used in Goodfellas (1990) directed by Martin Scorsese: Accelerated montage can be seen in restaurant scene (00:18:30) while Henry (Ray Liotta) and Jimmy (Robert De Niro) discuss the Air France Robbery. Also, it is present in prison scene (01:23:34) when Karen (Lorraine Bracco) visits Harry.

In the formation of art of the peoples who lived in the Mediterranean basin, a huge role was played by the so-called Aegean, or Mycenaean art. The Aegean culture was formed and developed in III—II millennia BC and was created by tribes that lived on the island of Crete, the Peloponnese, the West coast of Asia Minor (Boardman 21). In 1871, the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann excavated Hissarluka on the hill "pre-Homer" cities that can be dated to the III Millennium BC and which belong to the prehistory of the Aegean culture.

Marta Minujín is a conceptual artist who created works of art that are specific to pop art current, depicting, through the use of irony or humor contemporary events, which she referred to as “happenings”.

In Kedar’s sculptural analysis of the early Romanesque corbels, he focused on the small wall reliefs depicting intense human emotions which he claimed that art historians often neglected due to their insignificant roles and monstrous appearance. As a result, their meanings remained secluded from society for many centuries. The corbels jutting from the walls of Romanesque French churches illustrate not only the social caste of marginalized members of the medieval society but also their grotesque and frank style was a silent protest from the neat religious iconography of the church. The visual justification of the author’s argument ...

So the ways it looks like in real life and in movies really differ and thus hip hop is usually a controversial topic for discussion.

Robert Frost, 1874 - 1963 Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first ...

Virginia Woolf's novel, Mrs. Dalloway, is considered by most to be a baffling read. This is partly because the novelist, Woolf, experiments with the technique of connecting the character's internal and external dialogues in the text. This is quite obvious in the author's characterization of Mrs. Dalloway or Clarissa, the protagonist of the novel, and Septimus. Many critics contend that both of these characters are a doubles. This idea, of course, comes from the “Introduction to the Random House edition of her novel” which states that, “‘Septimus, who later is intended to be her [that ...

The content I chose for my thesis is one of the Print Ads- by ‘Bailey’s Fine Jewelry’, and I believe this text is a unique example of print ads media form. The ad itself is a fine piece of imagination, depicting a human’s nature; especially those of women, when it comes to materialism. The tag-line of their advertisement is ‘Every Woman Wants a Bailey Box’. The statement itself holds the irony which is being depicted in the text. The text created, is presenting a story of its own which goes best with the tag-line, the company is using for the ...

Traditionally, women's role in society has always been a silenced voice, which comes across through their depictions in paintings. The passive female image with the conventional Venus pose is ubiquitous with the classical representation of feminism. The perception of feminism in the 19th century was expressed and can be elucidated through the medium of artwork, noting the daring advances that occurred in art that both inspired and represented the increased progressiveness that feminism was experiencing. Mary Cassatt's "Women in Black at the Opera" explores the emancipation of feminism, through her painting style and all aspects of female ...

A particular feature of the literature is that it can send the author’s message in various ways and reach a target reader out of the crowd of ignorant ones.

In this context, the comparison will be conducted in the framework of the depicting of the same theme of gender ...

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Vincent van Gogh was arguably one of the most influential artists in the human history. Through his use of color and imagery, he managed to communicate many different emotions and messages to each viewer of his paintings. He is most infamously known for the incident in which he chopped off his ear, supposedly mailing it to a woman in a box. For this reason, how he grew up and who he was as a person is particularly interesting to the public, as well as psychoanalysts. Regardless of if he was deeply troubled or not, one thing is clear, his life eventually led ...

Though not always elitist, movies are excellent at reflecting the reality and human history, just as poetry and prose are. The movie industry was being developed over the 20th century while the human civilization was being shaken by major military collisions, be they regional or conflicts of world proportions.

History as we know it is always written in the bird’s eye view. It is always in the perspective of the victors. Those who subjugated lands and people that include Christopher Columbus wrote heroic actions of expedition to save the wretch from damnation or to civilize the savages.

Article Summary

In his article, ‘The Role of Woman in the Iconography of Art Nouveau’, which was published in the Art Journal in the winter of 1971-1972, Jan Thompson, examines how women were depicted in different forms of art during the late years of the 19th and early years of the 20th century. Thompson begins by asserting that Art Nouveau, as the art of that period is best known, was primarily concerned with depicting women and not men. These women however were mainly depicted, not as they really were, but ‘helpless’, ‘fragile’ and ‘desirable’ (Thompson, 158-159). The author suggests that as ...
