After the war, German was highly isolated from the rest of the world because of the war. When expressionism first took off, it didn’t really spread as Germany was so disconnected from the rest of the world. However, also in the 1920’s Europe began to explore a new way of film making, and began to watch the new and strange films the Germans had been making. Although starting as an art form, film soon took over German expressionism and many filmmakers began interrupting their own views and feelings at this time onto film, in this way. After the war, Hans Janavitz and Carl Mayer, both shocked from the war that had just occurred, were both fantasied with psychoanalysis and this is when they began to write ‘The Cabinet of Dr Caligari’ (1920), a silent horror film, filled with key elements of an expressionism film of that era, and one of the first and finest.
June 11, 2012 ENG 1DG Anderson Gary Shen Alienation in Feed and the Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks In March 2010, a life was ended in a very tragic way. Daryl Day, who at that time was only 18, was a “goofball athlete who loved his aviator sunglasses” ended his own life. He had been hiding his anxiety and depression in fear of being alienated. Alienation is not just a major issue in society that needs to be addressed; it is also an important theme in many modern books. Both Feed by MT Anderson and The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E Lockhart supply similar complex explanations to what causes teen alienation.
Like I said before, the background is gray and unlike the story, it doesn’t show a brick wall with a lone window. This once more brings to mind that it is to foreshadow the tragic end of Icarus. Daedalus seems to have been painted with a darker complexion than his son Icarus which tells you that Daedalus will stay alive and well. If you take into account what the characters are doing in the painting you will notice that while Daedalus is trying to explain how to use the wings, Icarus is daydreaming about flying. This seems to be the reason for his later on demise.
Artist as Analyst The Man with the Pipe has a vast of visual evidence to prove that it is an artist as a analyst painting. Pablo manipulated the composition of the painting by making it a jigsaw puzzle of numerous shapes put together to make the artwork whole. This process that Pablo uses in The Man with a Pipe is called Analytical Cubist. To understand this painting, you must look beyond the visual surface and you can discover the hidden pattern that Pablo created. This painting was first broken up in to pieces, then it was analyzed, and finally it was put back together in an abstract way.
Paul says, “[the] images float through my mind, but they do not grip me, they are mere shadows and memories.” It becomes apparent to the reader that the war has effected Paul in every aspect of his life. The images that once captivated him do it no longer; he calls them “shadows and memories,” but when he read the books that took him far beyond his small German village before the war, they were still only shadows and memories. Nothing about the books had changed, only Paul had. The war had tainted the innocence he had as a child that allowed him to dream of adventure. Paul even realizes it when he thinks, words, words, words-they do not reach me.
Maus Response Paper Maus presents the idea of transmission of memories from one generation to another. Although Art Spiegelman did not live through the Holocaust, his father, a first generation survivor of the Holocaust, shared the traumatic experiences of the war with him. Spiegelman was not alive while his parents were living in the torturous conditions of the war, but the memories of the war were transmitted to him very intensely, which created a direct, powerful connection between him and the war. However, although Spiegelman has a deep connection to the war he struggles with a sense of guilt for not having to live through it as his parents did. His remorse is expressed while he is talking to his wife and says, “Somehow, I wish I had been in Auschwitz with my parents so I could really know what they lived through!

Pepper’s” at first, but decided against it due to obvious, potential lawsuit reasons, but the concept was truly unique. Instead of marketing themselves as the Beatles, they created a fictitious concert band. The way it was organized was different too; the songs are all synced, like they are really performing a concert on tour. But that wasn’t the only illusion within the album; their new psychedelic sound, sampled into the public with Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever, skyrocketed, blowing the minds of everyone who purchased this record. The Beatles hard work became noticed with this album, and so did their increasing interest in drugs.
Infatuated with storytelling using slang and colloquial language, Fisher’s works became visual narratives. Ambiguous in meaning, his subject matter conveys a reflection of his childhood memories and his everyday cognizance. In the Modern Art museum of Ft. Worth, Vernon Fisher allows the audience to see works of his entire career to date. In this presentations he used anything from paintings to sculptures and of course installations from the late 1970’s to the present. These works are from public collection, but we are also treated with some pieces from his private collection as well.
The romance of the Italian Renaissance has captivated many historians over the years, but very few have studied the era as extensively as Jacob Burckhardt. Raised in Germany during the nineteenth century, Burckhardt was disenchanted by events such as the Industrial Revolution, which he found to be cold and unemotional. He was originally sent to the University of Basil to study Theology, but lost his faith and decided that he would study Art and History. Detached from his own time, Burckhardt found his life’s passion in the culture, art, and people of the Italian Renaissance. After graduation, Burckhardt taught Art History and it was while he was a professor that he began to publish.
