The symposium then explored the relationship between the body and the city’s building in more depth with Adam Greenhalgh’s paper Body/Building: New York City around 1910. The associate curator of the National Gallery of Art in Washington presented once more Manhattan as a living body, and his interpretation of Excavations at night as an autopsy of the city conveys a powerful image of the city being exposed and vulnerable like Miss Bentham.

The Difficult Transition from Duvalierism to Democracy in Haiti Haiti has historically been the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, suffering from mismanagement of resources and corrupt rule by the elites. The rule of the Duvaliers had concentrated the wealth of the state in the Duvalier family and its political allies, the Duvalierists. This had been the way Haiti was always run since its independence in 1804: the wealthy, French-speaking elite ruling as an oligarchy or dictatorship

Rodrigues, CA, 2001, ‘Fayol’s 14 principles of management then and now: a framework for managing today’s organizations effectively’, Management Decision, vol. 31, no. 10, pp. 880-889. Rodrigues discusses in some detail how Fayol's principles of management individually are/are not used in modern management. He doesn't necessarily hold a contention or argument as he is ultimately comparing and contrasting the world of management in US organisations from early 1900's to now. However the result of

The Artwork. ‘Madam Matisse’ is a rather famous portrait of Matisse’s wife, and is a great example of a fauvist artwork, using many bold, bright and contrasting colours throughout the painting. This painting was created using oil and tempura on canvas; tempera being a glutinous water-soluble material such as egg yolk, which is added to painting medium.

SUMMERTIME AND SPRING RAIN Upon first sight, it appears that John Sloan’s Spring Rain and Edward Hopper’s Summertime only common characteristic is that they are both oil paintings on canvas. Spring Rain, from the school of Impressionistic art, was painted in 1912. Summertime, which possesses a simplified, schematic style, was created over thirty years later, in 1943. Therefore, there are extreme differences in the two artists’ technique and style. However, despite these differences, the two

The painting is over ten feet by ten feet in area and is truly spectacular. It is impossible to miss this massive work of art when walking through the hall.

Modern art often takes the best of great works and artists and adapts it, adding new techniques and personal styles of each artist. Examining a beloved masterpiece carefully with introspection and openness to emotional impression leads to appreciation and pleasure regarding other artists and their works as well. Our eyes and mind open instead of dismissing the unique. Paul Cézanne's painting, "The Large Bathers" (1906), was his last and arguably his greatest work. One of the most interesting aspects

Few people are going to openly admit to being prejudice against people of other races, gender, and religions. However that doesn’t stop many of us from having unintentional racist thoughts. In 1979, Henri Tajfel, a social psychologist, proposed that “the groups which people belonged to are an important source of pride and self-esteem. Groups give us a sense of social identity: a sense of belonging to the social world.” This ideal of categorizing and subconsciously labeling ourselves is better known
