As it states in the Nelson Adkins’ placket; “Tracer is one of the 79 silk-screened paintings Rauschenberg produced between 1963 and 1964, whose imagery is derived from everyday sources of information – photographs, newspapers and magazines. Tracer alludes to the Vietnam War by incorporating American symbols of patriotism and war – army helicopters and a bald eagle”. This is why I was immediately attracted to it. The combination of beauty (the Venus at Her Toilet ca. 1613-15), urban street scene, and the chaos/patriotism of the Vietnam War was amazing.
Prompt 4: Analyze artistic and literary responses to industrialization over the course of the nineteenth century. The Industrial Revolution of the late 18th century and throughout the 19th century had a dramatic impact and influence on European life. While many aspects of life and society changed in response to these new developments, art and literature were heavily impacted as well. Three major forms of artistic responses to industrialization were Romanticism, Realism, and several new revolutionary styles of and made in reaction to the invention of the camera. All of these various styles responded to the industrialization of Europe in their own unique fashions, and resulted in a strange conglomeration of art, ideals, and themes.
(J. Baldwin) "The 1950s and the 1960s had very distinct and indelible influences on present day America. The 1950's were the source of a great many classic American stereotypes. In contrast, the 1960's were a time of cultural upheaval and rebellion. Together, both of these decades helped to shape the music, culture, and political events of the 1990s and beyond." (S.
How far do sources T, U and V suggest that the Pilgrimage of Grace was a serious threat to Henry VIII? Sources U and V suggest that the Pilgrimage of Grace was a serious threat to the King while source T does not. The content of sources U and V strongly suggests that the Pilgrimage of Grace was a real threat to the King. For example, source U mentions that “all the nobility of the duchy of York have risen”. This statement shows that the Pilgrimage of Grace consisted of very diverse social groups, such as, the nobility, gentry and commoners.
Also the document presents the triumphs and tragedies of the epic struggle on a continent placing them in a larger context in France and Great Britain global conflict. The book also offers an insight on the nature of Native Americans opposition in the evolution of American Independence. As soon as French presence disappeared, white colonists started moving aggressively in Indian territory creating even more instability in the region for Britain. The wars were so weak fought inside and outside the American continent. It created social, economic along with cultural and ethnic borders and relations reshaping its state borders due to the American Independence War fought by the Spanish, British or France.
“The distinctive ways in which North and South organized their labor systems left their mark on all aspects of regional life - including family, gender and leisure patterns and both religious and secular ideologies. Such cultural changes, in turn deeply influenced political life.” (15) Levine draws his sources from many historical figures and events to portray the point of views that both sides had on slavery, labor, religion and the way of life in general. He then shows how these points of view evolved overtime in a way that led to the disintegration of the Union. Conflicts of interest between the South and the North shaped by differences in social-economic structure, religious beliefs, and politics, with slavery as the center piece led to the Civil War. Economic differences between the North and the South were a major factor that contributed to the roots of the civil war.
Anah Chapman Rhetoric Analysis March 2nd, 2015 “Insatiable” Dark, contrasting colors, striking images, and thoughtful placement are just a few of the deliberate elements that make “Insatiable” a wonderfully crafted, and undeniably thought provoking piece. Theodore Bolha and Chris Davis have come together to put a spark in our minds with their earnest piece named “Insatiable”. Originally used as cover art for a documentary that they had worked on, End:Civ, which explores the relentless industrialization we have unleashed on the world, has now reached far beyond the dimly lit room of any home theatre. Somewhat viral on the internet, tracking down the original creators was no easy feat, but an invaluable one nonetheless. I was lucky
Act of Supremacy 1534 Made Henry's supremacy over the Church in England official. As it was now a law a Treason Act could be passed to enforce it. This act effectively declared England as a sovereign state with the King as Head of both the country and the Church. The act stated that the king was to become Supreme Head of the Church of England and would have the power to visit, redress, reform, correct or amend all errors, heresies and enormities which would previously have been dealt with by another spiritual authority. The King could define the faith in parliament.
What attracted me to this book was the way the author expressed each occurrence in his rediscovery of America in a comical way. Especially when Mr. Bryson starts comparing differences between America and its citizens, and England and its citizens, in a way it was never done before. He manages to describe some incidents in detail, and also hits out at America’s way of life. He points out
