He founded the Eastman Kodak Company to manufacture cameras and photographic supplies, making the art of photography available to the masses. This talks about his life and how he came about the inventions that made photography easier for people to use and produce their own photographs.

Perhaps illness so influenced the artistic style of Van Gogh, but the picture turned out completely different to all that the artist wrote so far. This is not a Van Gogh, who was known. In the canvas, there is tension, anxiety, dense colors and warm shades of olive-mustard. On the contrary, here there is some kind of lightness, airiness, and transparent weightlessness. On the manner of execution, the pattern resembles Japanese prints: iris field full of peace, a lightness, and transparency.

I was lucky enough to be able to visit the Della Robbia exhibition at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts twice this semester. This was one of the first major exhibitions for Della Robbia in the United States. The Della Robbia series began with Luca della Robbia in the 15th century, and this exhibition showcased 46 works of his family and associated workshops. The exhibition itself was breathtaking and unique. The creamy, white gazed terracotta statues and displays were breathtaking and unique in their own way. However, the one artwork that caught my attention was the Resurrection of Christ by Giovanni Della Robbia, only one of the few colorful works that are in this exhibition. One can simply write books about the technique, symbolism and the references that are present in this magnificent work.

The Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 damaged the old de Young museum building located in Golden Gate Park and uncovered severe seismic flaws in the building and hence a comprehensive plan to rebuild the building in stages was overtaken to make the de Young museum up to date. In January 1999 the Swiss firm Herzog & de Meuron were chosen to rebuild the De young museum, due to their willingness to engage in an extended process of architectural design and also because their prior work demonstrated a drive to explore new building solutions for each client. Each of Herzog & de Meuron’s prior buildings were known for their strikingly different façade treatments and the use of uncommon

The Miriam-Webster dictionary has three definitions for the word art. The first is: something that is created with imagination and skill and that is beautiful or that expresses important ideas or feelings.

The pictures of the deceased we all love decorating the walls of our homes on this special day is known as the Day of the Dead. This day is for commemorating our loved ones who have sadly abandoned us in this dimension we call life.

Tears and heartaches fill our souls, the remembrance of our sweet old man cause us pain that’s impossible to explain. It’s the day where we freely speak of his death without
