Kansas City, meanwhile, had a population of 4,418 (U.S. Census Bureau). Denver, Colorado was already the “Queen City of the Plains” with a population of 4,749 (Population of Denver, CO).

The meeting of European and African musical cultures in the New World gave rise to a certain specific culture with its own worldview.

Three pieces, “Explosion,” “Matisse in Nice,” and, “Blind Mickey’s Blues,” all represent consumerism while showing critical art theory in practice. Using bold or delicate lines, accessing negative space or not, and contrasting colors in order to show how consumerism has the power to change people, as well as corporations, and countries, the pieces ...
