The art of the twentieth century is art of newness and exploration. The art of these times is a historical commentary on the world’s shift from the traditional to the modern, from the classical to the contemporary. Specifically, the art of the mid-twentieth century was about exploring new ways in which to utilize paints and mediums, it was about pushing the boundaries of our perceptions of what art was and is, and forever will be. New concepts of composition arose, abandoning the usual ideas of depth and space as seen in nature, artists in these influential years began experimenting with a more two dimensional approach, creating depth not through scale and shading, but rather through colors and shapes. However, these artist’s works were far from flat as they challenged the traditionalist’s creation of three dimensions through representation by instead evoking both depth and mood through non-representation.

If there is one word that can describe Raffel’s translation of Beowulf compared to Heaney’s, the word is simplified. Many literary techniques, including syntax, diction, and figurative language, are either absent or expedited in Raffel’s translation. Therefore, his version would be a much easier read for his audience in terms of understanding the plot and the language. The first difference seen once Heaney’s and Raffel’s translations are juxtaposed is the use of capital letters. Unlike Heaney’s translation, Raffel’s translation uses a capital letter at the beginning of every line.
In order for this style to be clarified artists used short brush strokes, dotting and smearing techniques. This was achieved in the paintings I’ve chosen, making them each historically significant. The post-impressionism transitions these styles by adding more emotion to the naturalism. It’s a movement in broad terms that covers many artists and styles. The post-impressionist paintings I’ve selected were closer to the impressionist style and created by founding artists of this new movement.
The distinctively visual is used throughout peter goldsworthys novel ' maestro ' and the painting By edward munch ' the scream ' 1893. there is some overlap between the distinctively visual techniques used by these writers and painters.

The extended metaphor of peter goldsworthy “to describe the world is always to simplify its texture, to coarsen the weave: to lose the particular in general”, portrays that once you try to represent something, you lose something of its real life essence and that the act of writing about something in the world simplifies it.

Ted Hughes’ poem, Sketching a Thatcher is a densely metaphorical text, loaded with figurative language. Its meaning is therefore often not immediately accessible and requires a deeper look from a reader in order to decipher the text. A more thorough analysis of the metaphoric constructions allows us to unlock its meaning and understand the essence of the ‘sketch’ that Hughes presents with this poem, enriching his portrait of an aged roof-thatcher and imbuing it with the quintessentially sketch-like quality that the title of the poem suggests. Deconstructing the imagery in terms of arguments, focal expressions and the tenor-vehicle constructions of the figurative language scattered through the text and evaluating the relationships between local and global metaphors of the poem allows a reader to connect the images into a coherent and more accessible pattern. In this essay, we will analyse a few of the local metaphors that form part of the central tenets of the poem and look at the ways in which they interact with each other as part of the global metaphor of the poem.
