Post Impressionism, as the name would suggest, is the art movement that directly followed Impressionism. One artist, who led the Post Impressionism movement, was French artist, Paul Cézanne. Much of his early work was pure Impressionism and, although he was introduced to the style and guided by Camille Pissarro, Cézanne's works showed a distinctive uniqueness. Cézanne broke away from Impressionism because of the lack of composition; he felt the desire to depict subjects in the third dimension as well as appearing flat. Cézanne did not agree with the Impressionistic trait of portraying the world through light, instead, he built up images by a generous use of color.
After the Great War, Americans were disappointed to realize that the war was fought for null; World War I was not the “War to End Wars” as advertised by the government propaganda. The disappointment of being “suckered” into the Great War helped motivate Americans to adopt a largely isolationist policy during the 1930s. The situation was worsened when Britain and France defaulted on their loans from the U.S. after they were unable to collect reparation payments from Germany satisfactorily. In a political cartoon of 1932, Uncle Sam is seen wisely remarking that the only thing European
From afar, the work appears abstract and minimal; upon closer inspection, goodly eyes, reconfigured wigs, tongues, and lips of minstrel caricatures multiply in detail. In her earlier works, Gallagher glued pages of penmanship paper onto stretched canvas and then drew and painted on it. Walton Ford was born in 1960 in Larchmont, New York. Ford graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with the intention of becoming a filmmaker, but later adapted his talents as a storyteller to his unique style of large-scale watercolor. Blending depictions of natural history with political commentary, Ford’s meticulous paintings satirize the history of colonialism and the continuing impact of slavery and other forms of political oppression on today’s social and environmental landscape.
However, the film’s 20th century context of capitalist greed and mass industrialisation shifts the criticism to the pursuit of commercial dominance and not god like power. Composed during the Industrial Revolution and the enlightenment period, Shelley symbolises the Romantic Movement as she forebodes her enlightened society of playing God. Her warning is shown through the character of Victor, whose pompous diction “many excellent natures would owe their being to me” represents a society focused on reanimation. Shelley questions the morality of this society through the pursuit of god like reanimation and through religiously and morally condemned methods of using dead body parts as materials. Through Victor’s retrospection to Robert Walton, “lost all soul or sensation but for this one pursuit”, with juxtaposition of “all” and “one” emphasis of Victor’s obsession to conquer death is made; similar to scientists of Shelly’s time such as Erasmus Darwin.
Romanticism responded to industrialization by shunning it and turning to nature, emotion, and mysticism. Realism was for the most part a reaction to Romanticism and its gaudy whimsicalness, but was also heavily influenced by industrialization. Rather than turning a
Likewise in source 2, Attlee emphasises how ‘people wanted a positive new policy’ implemented by the next government, ‘not an attempt to go back to the old’. This further demonstrates how the Conservatives did not fully understand what people wanted in Britain after the war. Source 2 also supports the statement by referring to the poor past record of the Conservatives, with regards to their domestic and foreign policy. In addition to Maudling’s explanation, Attlee explains how people ‘remembered Munich and they remembered pre-war unemployment’ and these events created a negative impression in people’s minds about the Conservative Party acting as a peacetime government. In source 3, Watkins develops this point further by commenting that ‘Britain would not survive the peace with the kind of government it has possessed before the war’.
However, Madison did not sign the bill into law because he believed that it wasn’t constitutional even though it would desperately help the United States. Federalists believed that the Constitution was open to interpretation and used the Elastic Clause to support their beliefs (Doc D). During one of the numerous wars between the British and the French the federal government imposed the Embargo Act (Doc E) to cease the trade between both countries to show America’s neutrality. This act harmed the United States more than helped because in New England, which contained mainly federalists, there main way of life was through trading with Europe so they had an economic down turn for as long as the war was going on. During the War of 1812, the Federalists held the Hartford Convention (Doc E) because they were against the war because they were again struggling to trade with Europe.
They believed in completely opposite beliefs, for example the left wing believed in change, whereas the right wing completely opposed change. The Weimar Republic came under attack from both groups, with the left wing creating the Spartacist Uprising in 1919 and the right wing creating the Kapp Putsch in 1920 and Munich Putsch in 1923. The Spartacist Uprising was led by Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht, their aim was to overthrow the government. Dr Wolfgang Kapp led the Kapp Putsch and they also wanted to overthrow the government and bring back the Kaiser. However it can be argued that this was not caused by the treaty, as the new government was not always approved of by German citizens.
It was initiated by a group of artists (Claude Manet, Camille Pissarro, Auguste Renoir, Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Paul Cezanne, Alfred Sisley and Edouard Manet) who were tired of following the traditional style of art and so decided to rid themselves of these ‘outdated’ shackles and began to paint unconventional subjects and outdoor landscapes. Through the industrial revolution, artificial tinctures which allowed the creation of newer and brighter colours. The artists’ paintings were their impressions and dealt with contemporary life unlike that of traditionalists which stuck to ancient mythology and romanticism. Impressionists saw their art not as moralistic but rather an attempt to capture light and fleeting effects through a new technique of small dabs of similar and brilliant colour created a mimic of sunlight, running water or moving vegetation, shadows were given life and colour. This new look on light and colour and how it affected the image of
Hitler got away with this because Britain had sympathy for Germany and in 1935 signed a naval agreement with them. France was angry that Germany was re-army but there was little they could do as most countries were doing the same, especially after the disappointment of the Disarmament conference.. The failure of the League of Nations in the 1930s also contributed towards the outbreak of war. It was powerless throughout the 1920s as it was more interested in trying to keep good relations with the other countries so it would have allies against Hitler if he ever attacked. The League also didn’t work because America didn’t join and it was the American President Woodrow Wilson who created it and it would never have worked unless all the nations were allowed to join.
