The whole of Wagner’s works from 1850, the year Wagner published the infamous essay Das Judentum in der Musik, onward, incorporates his revolutionary theories concerning social issues and reveals him to be similar to his contemporary audience, a member of his culture steeped in beliefs that characterize him as anti-Semitic. By using the body, Wagner was able to evoke certain associations linked to the corporeal in his culture, which gave his ideas a degree of merit to his contemporary audience. It is only with the cultural context of Wagner’s time, that anti-Semitic implications of the music make sense. The associations connected to Wagner’s music, is not necessarily those of today. Specific key (tonality) are associated with specific dramatic configurations, moods or meanings.
He finds only the best parts Senechal 2 of the best bodies and sews them together and the gothic element is added. The gothic supernatural is viewed through the exaggeration of the beautiful. What was once a perfect being in his mind is now oversized being parts of the perfect as an unexpected fusion of different realms, an exaggeration of the beautiful as described by Linda Bayer.

The Arts During the Renaissance, the arts changed dramatically because of humanism. Artists who painted began using different elements in their works, these elements included light & shadow, texture & pattern, better colors, elegance and realistic details. Patrons paid artists to produce work that were inspired by classical times. Architects began use ancient Roman/Greek ideas such as columns, arches and statues. Architects loved light, so they used domes, less stained glass and big windows.

Otto Von Bismarck (Hitler’s hero).in 1871 Otto Von Bismarck established Germany as a country by winning the Franco Prussian war. And doing that created Pan German nationalism. Another pan Germanic idol was Martin Luther, he protested against catholic churches as he thought they were flawed and wrong due to indulgencies (buying your way into heaven), he strongly expressed his anti-Catholic views by hammering his 95 thesis (problems with the Catholic church) to the door of a church. This began the protestant reformation. The Volk were also very fond of Beethoven, a German composer, however Hitler’s favourite composer was Richard Wagner and he used his music in death camps right before they would be killed.
In the novel the wave, Morton Rhue demonstrates how the characters come to comprehend that social pressure is abhorrent and its threatening force not only in the German Nazi but in an average day life. Robert is one of the characters with an optimistic attitude towards the experiment thinking that it was positive and that it was authorized for everyone to feel equal. David also felt what Robert was feeling from the beginning of the trial until he recognized the negativity and the unconstructiveness of research. David has come to thought that the experiment has made him force and brainwash others to become a member of The Wave, how he peer pressured those who didn’t want to be in group or when he nearly hurt his girlfriend Laurie Saunders. This is evident when David held her tightly and whispered “God, I’m sorry”.
In 1892, the family immigrated to Germany. In his younger years Adlof was fascinated by fine art and German nationalism. This German nationalism would be the driving force in Hitler’s life. In early adulthood, Hitler joined the German Army in World War I and became a corporal. The defeat to the Western Alliance in World War I would only strengthen Hitler’s German patriotism.
So a very basic description of German expressionism would be an art form of noticeable extreme human emotion, extending on this as the artist Edvard Much world famous for the expressionist painting The scream (1893) stated ‘No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love.’ Extending even further on that, expressionism is the opposite of impressionism, where in impressionist art you paint the picture like a snapshot or photo in expressionism you paint the world not quite as it is. Two defining yet contrasting works of the expressionistic era of film I will be citing from in this essay is Lotte H. Eisner's The Haunted Screen (1952), and Siegfried Kracauer's From Caligari To Hitler - A Psychological History Of German Film (1947). What these two books point out is two reoccurring themes the films focused on at certain times and how they seemed to change over a long period of time. Love and romance was vital in the 1920’s.
Poem Analysis Artist and scientist: Leonardo da Vinci, used science to improve his artwork: dissections of the human body and studying human anatomy helped create a realistic sense in his paintings. Da Vinci’s study of science helped create a fairly accurate representation of the bodies he observed when he painted. He believed the eye was the best instrument for observation and an artist was the ideal person to illustrate ("Museum of Science, Boston"). In “The Scientist,” a poem written by Janet Burroway, the view points of a surgeon and a poet are created to convey that conventional and literal boundaries fall to the wayside of creative forces. The use of observant diction and formulaic imagery convey an understanding between the poet and the surgeon.
