unique landscape architect due to his vast use of dramatic shapes and colours in his designs. As a child he was encouraged to practice his independence of mind and enrolled as a student at the National School of Beaux Arts where he studied painting and art. This education and introduction into art encouraged Lassus to begin his career as a painter before entering into landscape architecture. In the 1950’s, Lassus took part in artistic research on visual effects of ‘lights in motion’ where he developed

W.H. Auden’s The Shield of Achilles and Musee des Beaux Arts encapsulate the sense of nihilism that pervade society after World War II. It is an age of disillusionment when people can no longer put faith in science and technology, since they have witnessed the catastrophe brought about by machines; nor can they rely on their government, as totalitarianism has created a frigid world where nothingness stands. However, although the prospect of the contemporary world seems bleak, W.H. Auden still harbors

In the article, “The Singer Solution to World Poverty,” Peter Singer forms two theoretical scenarios to encourage readers to consider their obligations in aiding children in need; in the poem “Musee des Beaux Arts,” by W.H. Auden, employs the use of two paintings to illustrate the indifference of humanity to individual suffering.

At some point in life, the pain and tragedy that one person faces may go unnoticed to the rest of the world. Moreover, success is most often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable. The essence established in the works of Brueghel, Auden, and Williams, all seemingly illustrate the falling of Icarus. As the depictions of Icarus’ death vaguely differ, the central idea of man’s failure is still establish. To start with, Brueghel’s painting, paints an image of how he depicts Ovid’s

Auden gives us three messages from the poem Musee des Beaux Arts. First he Auden talks about hoe people don’t care about karma or disasters in the world until it is happening in their life. That as we grow older we tend to care less about others well-being. Auden also says that people change as they get older, their view on life changes. It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt.

developed the skill of avoiding its existence. Even though created in disparate time periods, Ovid’s ‘Icarus’, Breughel’s ‘Fall Of Icarus’ and Auden’s ‘Musee des Beaux Arts’, all present their society's principle of human indifference towards the suffering and the continuance of the human life, as suffering occurs. W. H. Auden’s ‘Musee des Beaux Arts’ exposes society’s indifference towards suffering. Through the poet's conversational tone, Auden places the reader in front of Breughel’s painting ‘Fall Of
