It depends on their unique experiences and based on those past experiences they have formed a unique meaning for life itself. In the story Dillard is mesmerized by the stunt pilot actions through his bravery, his skills, and love of his craft. Dillard truly sees the beauty of life. The stunt pilot was never afraid to risk his life, for him the show was a work of art. Safety was not an issue, he led himself roam free and let his exhibitions take off.
¬Nighthawks – an analysis The first thing that I notice about this picture is that the mood is tense, as if the picture was a snapshot of a moment before chaos breaks loose. The silent tension is deafening. Uncertainty hangs in the air. This may indicate that the artist wanted to show people, through his painting, that many different things could occur. For instance, the people in the bar could all quietly leave, and get about their business.
Memories flood back into our consciousness as we see the familiar things that make up our collective story. Composition, detail, and the varied presence of light form the sum of technique. But so much more is hidden within the object and its presentation. We are given the task of finding the symbolism, the meaning, the reason for the particular combining of objects. Hinojosa’s contribution to American realist painting cannot be measured.
Gerhard Richert is an artist that lived in an era where not of the world have seen. Artists have that great ability to capture the moment in time and make it alive for viewers to see and take a trip where they have never seen before. 1 Interview with Jan Thorn-Prikker, 2004.

Claude Monet and Impressionism Although a loner growing up and throughout his life, Claude Monet was far from unpopular. His paintings created an aura of beauty and a sense of wonder about the mysterious man behind them. Growing up in France, Monet was able to surround himself with beaches, gardens and many other landscapes that would change the way people thought about art. Along with Pierre-Auguste Renoir, he led a movement that depicted and in its own way caused a social revolution. This movement was known as Impressionism and attracted not only many fans, but also many other painters who became a part of this revolution.
Post Impressionistic artist moved away from a lot of the loose free stokes used in Impressionism and focused more on the quality of lines they used. Vincent van Gogh was a front runner for this Post Impressionistic movement and after reviewing many of his works including my personal favorite “Starry Night” which further confirms my opinion that Post Impressionism is in fact a continuation from Impressionism rather than a new movement. Van Gogh created a scene that was a mixture of stiff and free lines. Not quite as loose as Impressionism because the forms are much more distinct and recognizable however the lines are loose enough to still create flow and movement in the painting. (VanGoghGallery) Another of Van Gogh’s works that show how Post Impressionism evolved yet stayed in the impressionistic movement is “Café Terrace at Night” which has much cleaner defined lines with bold colors yet the forms of the people in the painting are still very loose and less defined.
Everything that passes by tickles the sinuses. The smell of lilies, daisy, trees, and fields of grass are euphoric. While riding on a motorcycle, there are no windows to hide behind to retreat from the smell of a smelly cattle lot, an angry skunk or the odor of fresh road kill. Perhaps the only downfall to enjoying these smells is not being able to block out the gross odors that aggravate the otherwise harmonious experience. The only option is to drive as fast as possible to escape to fresh air again.
A wonderful example of anonymity in a crowded space. The city is the opposite of the small town where everybody knows everybody. In the city, nobody knows anybody. Well, it almost seems that way. Even one’s own neighbors are a complete mystery.
He is said to have changed the whole perception of caricature art and his influence is uncontested. If this is the case, how is it possible to put forward the supposition that he lacked a key ingredient in all forms of artistic activity: imagination? By analyzing some of his caricatures throughout his life, we will try to decide if he expressed creativity in all the forms of his art. He used mainly lithography as a medium, but some may argue that his exploration of it wasn't pushed enough. His style will also be a good indicator of imagination, as well as the themes he tackled and how inventive he could be about the characters depicted.
Aestheticism deals with the idea of art as a thing to be treasured and appreciated, not for an underlying purpose. Although it can be argued that Wilde's novel and other works, as well as many details of the way he lived his life follow those ideals, it cannot be ignored that the theme of this novel is corruption by beauty and aestheticism. When the novel opens, Basil Hallward,
