Essay about Making the St. Louis Connection

The health status according to the 2017 County Health Rankings, St. Louis has a homicide death rate of 33 people per 100,000 (“Crime,” 2017).

The population that are uninsured is eleven percent and are between the ages of 18 to 65 (“Crime,” 2017). The Missouri Health Improvement Act of 2007 (Senate bill 577) seeks to make MO HealthNet a prudent purchaser of high quality care and the Missouri Health Transformation Act of 2008 (Senate bill 1230) which requires hospitals to report adverse events and the state to publicly report results annually (Health Care, 2013).

Countless art has been sought-after throughout history. Explorers, scientists, art collectors, politicians, and entrepreneurs from Western nations have sought out and removed art from the lands of great civilizations, often with the assistance and participation of local people and governments. Even as cultural property faces immediate danger today in conflict zones like Syria and Mali, there is circumstantial evidence that some nations are awakening to the political and foreign policy benefits that can flow from the repatriation of cultural patrimony. While on a different scale from World War II, historic structures, religious monuments, and other priceless ancient times continue to suffer collateral damage and manipulation in armed conflict. Relics have been stolen, smuggled and sold in what is a reported multibillion dollar underground market. They have become the illicit prizes of private collectors and the subject of legal claims against museums. Of the countless museums subject to legal claims, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City happens to be one of them. “The Metropolitan Museum has acquired thousands of works and objects of art from the antiquities”. “For the past several years, the government of Turkey has warned U.S. and foreign museums (including The Metropolitan Museum of Art), that unless ancient objects from Turkish soil are given up on demand, Turkey will stop lending artworks” (The Committee for Cultural Policy, 2015). Turkey continues to up the

During World War II, the Jewish people of Europe often found themselves forced into hiding or concentration camps. During these hard times, individuals had to find something, or someone, to keep them sane. Holocaust survivor Ava Kadishson Schieber found art.

Hitler would have his soldiers take the art from the homes where the Jews lived when they took them away. Sometimes, if he wanted a specific work of art, he would have his people steal it or take it and kill the people who owned it. He would have his men steal all of the art and other artifacts from the homes of every person they took to the concentration camps, as well as those they simply killed in their homes. Taking the art was his way of taking everything from them, and a way that he could show his superiority over them. He took it because it was something they had that he wanted.

Tiziano Vecillio painted “The Rape of Europa” during the period of 1559 to 1562. Located in the Isabellla Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston Massachusetts, the artist portrays the concept of sexual violation towards the painted figure. In relation to the depiction, most often the portrait emphasizes the affiliation of strong emotions and textures creating the perception of an exotic event. With multiple arguments claimed that the portrait consists of sexual maltreatment, A.W.Eaton argues contrarily to the point where the painting depicts otherwise. Through regulating the concept of rape, the portrait of Europa accentuates itself capturing the details of an intimate event created by Titan’s work. With the colour scheme, the emotion in the figures facial features and the position of the body, the essence that is received from the portrait may appear as a covered up setting in which is meant to portray a different representation of a prevalent love.

Adolf Hitler was born in Austria in 1889. He had an interest in fine arts and tried to get into the Academy of Fine Arts, but was rejected, and became homeless. As a result, he didn’t have an informal life. Hitler was in the German army for four years, and got rewarded for bravery. In addition, he became the leader of the National Socialism German Workers ' party that later was called the Nazi. He was anti-Marxist in addition to Stalin’s party. Hitler however, was charged of treason for trying to seize power by violence, and was sent to jail. During his time in jail, he wrote a book according to, Holocaust History, Hitler wrote “second Bible in Nazi Germany”. After Hitler got out of jail, he wanted to restore Germany’s power.

The issue of Hitler’s psychological abnormality and the cause being has many believed that it also stems from him being rejected twice to his dream school, the Academy of Arts in Vienna. He has been raised with the constant influence of anti-semitic beliefs and many believed that a staggering amount of Jewish people who were in power during the time had a lot of impact whether he would have been accepted to his dream school or not-- this obviously made him dislike the general Jewish population more than he already did. However, it is not just Hitler’s psychological state of mind that enabled him to commit barbaric and inhumane acts of aggression towards millions of Jewish people, but also the German citizens’ defeated and worn out feelings that also allowed for the horrendous acts to be committed. This is due to the fact that Germany lost the First World War and were deemed to be responsible for the reparations that totalled to 132 billion gold marks, or over $33 billion US dollars, and with this plus the fitful psychological state of mind of the dictator himself, Hitler and the Germans sought out for revenge and found the Jewish population as the main target to place their rage. The idea of using the Jewish population as the scapegoat for their

There is an ongoing art-ownership debate over paintings and other art stolen from European Jews during the Holocaust of World War II (1939-45). As Jews were sent to concentration camps, Nazi German soldiers looted valuable art from their homes. During the ensuing decades, some of that art landed in major museums on display, prompting Holocaust survivors and the families of Holocaust victims to ask that those works be returned to them.

Imagine getting all your dreams get shattered by one person. Imagine everything you worked hard for going down the toilet. That's exactly what happened to Nazi Dictator Adolf Hitler. Everyone knows Hitler as the cause of the major attack against the Jews called the Holocaust. Though, what no one really knows was that this evil dictator that’s responsible for millions of Jewish lives actually got rejected from Art school. His dream was to become a famous artist. January 30th, 1933 was when Adolf Hitler started the first concentration camp that then progressed to the Holocaust. Back then, Germany was considered a Socialist country. Socialism is the central meaning of common ownership. Nazi Germany practically controlled the Jewish community.

In general, if I was African American sharecropper arriving in Chicago, I would have been surprised to see the number of sharecroppers from the South arriving in Chicago with me. During the Great Migration from 1916 to 1918, it was estimated about a half million African Americans moved from the Southern to Northern states and 30,000 arrived in Chicago for various reasons. In this assignment, I’ll discuss some things I would encounter (Mullane, 1993, p. 455).

After speaking with my grandma about Saint Louis in the past I got a sense that things did change from her time. My grandma use to live in the city for quit sometime. Back then the city was full of life, there were things you could do with your family and stay safe. She moved here when she was 15 from Mississippi to St. Louis Missouri in order to get a better life. When my grandma move here being a person of color she still wasn’t able to go to places because of the color of here skin. An example of this is that she had to move with people of the same skin color. I believe she move into the apartments that was meant to houses lower income people. I kind of wonder what people were thinking when they decide to hate someone simply because of a

Both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union had ideas of what “good” art was to look like in their society. Both the Nazi and Soviet regimes wanted art to give a straightforward meaning, rather than leaving the subject of the artwork to be open to interpretation. Nazi Germany opened the Great German Art Exhibition in 1937. Figure 6 shows images that were allowed in this exhibition. This exhibition included art from artists who had been loyal to the regime, the art included nudes, genre scenes, still life, landscapes, and images of workers and heroes. All of the people pictured were idolized pure Aryan people. Along with this exhibition, the Nazis opened an exhibition

Every year more than 3.6 million referrals are made to child protection agencies involving more than 6.6 million children (a referral can include multiple children) (ChildHelp). There are so many influences on children. Children that have a parent that drink or beat them up for no reason at all. Children have a hard life if their parents neglect them or abuse them. Influences that are so small can change the child’s life forever. Hitler’s adult life was affected by his personal family life in his youth, being rejected by an Art School, and his service in World War I.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, also known as the Holocaust Memorial, is a monument in Berlin to commemorate the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The Memorial for the Murdered Jews of Europe causes us to reflect on how the transgressive gesture of architecture puts the issue of balance between the medium and the message into question. The memorial could have been viewed as a way to threaten the importance of remembrance. According to Elke Grenzer, “Architecture itself in a commemorative gesture because it wants to commemorate its action in its present as something that might not be lost in the future.” An abundance of political drama about the memorial almost caused the world to forget the significance of the structure. After the Berlin Wall came down, Germany had to find their own self-identity while memorializing the Jews, which led to a debate on how to successfully move on as a nation. The monument appears to be the preserver of Holocaust memory, however it is the people of Germany and what they created after visiting the memorial that safeguards the Holocaust memory.

Throughout history, art has caused wars and forged alliances. In modern times, cultural treasures are being sorted into place after much misplacement. Restitution/repatriation, the act of returning cultural treasures to their rightful owners or nation of origin, often ensues difficult legal decisions, but remains a moral necessity. This act of returning cultural treasures, grows more common due to the media’s interest or publicized legal battles. The movie “The Woman in Gold,” involving Gustav Klimt’s painting of Adele Bloch-Bauer, is an example of the influence it has on media.
