Examination of the birth of post-modernism would be incomplete without the discussion of two artists, each uniquely instrumental in tearing down the dogma of formalism set by Clement Greenberg: Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. These two artists challenged the bedrock of Greenbergian formalism of the 50’s (Abstract Expressionism) and pioneered new art practice which is now recognized as post-modernism. The work of Rauschenberg and Johns was brave and pivotal in shifting the belief about what art was and what art could be. This paper will formally analyze two works, “Bed” by Rauschenberg’s ” with Jasper’s “Target with 4 faces” for the purpose of identifying commonalities and differences. The two works were purposefully chosen for two reasons: external response and the artist’s initial motivation.
Critical Analysis – In Defense of Prejudice "In Defense of Prejudice" is an article by Jonathan Rauch that addresses issues of sexism, homophobia, Christian-bashing, and other forms of prejudice. His arguments and points draw the reader in and ultimately make them think and that I believe is the ultimate goal. His points on racism and homosexuality are the most strong and prominent. The dictionary defines prejudice as an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason. What stands out in that definition are the phrase “without knowledge, thought, or reason” this statement should say it all to the reader.
The red was particularly glaring in contrast to the crimson of the sitter's collar and cuffs. A case could be made, of course, for maintaining the inscription and coat of arms on the grounds of historic interest. The additions were commissioned; they identify and commemorate the sitter and were put on only a few years after Moroni's death. They are part of the way the painting has been known and described for over four hundred years. However, from an aesthetic standpoint the additions constituted a major alterationto Moroni's original composition and detracted from its appearance.
In Kaja Silverman’s The Subject of Semiotics, theorist Charles Sanders Peirce demonstrates his specific knowledge about sign theory. He writes that a sign is “something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. It addresses somebody, that is creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign” (Silverman 14). Both Jessup’s boxing gloves in Winter’s Bone and Allie’s baseball mitt in Catcher in the Rye creates a concrete understanding of symbolic significance. However, it is essential to recognize more than the symbolic relevance while analyzing a text.

Levin has written many papers on controversial issues, but one that stands out is "The Case For Torture” published in July of 1982. Here he describes the way that we as a society view torture. Levin provides vivid examples to persuade the reader to agree with his view that torture is necessary at times, and while I agree with his argument I don’t think he has strong sources to back up his argument. “It is generally assumed that torture is impermissible” (Levin 1). This word “impermissible” perfectly sums up what Levin is arguing against.
Madaser Saleem Blacks in History Final Exam 3) In their brief, first meeting, Einstein and Robeson discovered they shared not only a passion for music but a hatred of fascism.

Not all art labeled as contemporary art is postmodern, and the broader term encompasses both artists who continue to work in modernist and late modernist traditions, as well as artists who reject postmodernism for other reasons. Arthur Danto argues that "contemporary" is the broader term, and that postmodern objects represent a "subsector" of the contemporary movement. Some postmodern artists have made a more distinctive break from the ideas of modern art and there is no consensus as to what is "late-modern" and what is "post-modern." Ideas rejected by the modern aesthetic have been re-established. In painting, postmodernism reintroduced representation.
The aim would be to explore how this medium shapes the identities of the makers, subjects and audiences. To understand this, we would explore the art in the Indian context and would try to draw conclusions on the typical societal and cultural stereotypes that exist. Chronologically, Indian art can be divided into four major categories. These include the ancient period, the Mughal period, the colonial period and the post-independence or the current period. We would try to examine different styles in these historical periods of artworks; compare the changes; identify the images that symbolise the Indian lifestyle and landscape; discuss the issues of the past and present conveyed through art.
