The Starry Night, 1889 is a painting by Vincent Van Gogh while he was in an Asylum at Saint Remy de Provence. It portrays the view of the sunrise and the small village from the east facing window in Van Gogh’s room. The Starry Night is one of Van Gogh’s finest works, displayed in the Museum of Modern Art, New York since 1941. Van Gogh during his stay at the Asylum, is where he began producing some of his well-known paintings of his career, and The Starry Night is one of them. He was permitted with

Introduction Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso were both profoundly influenced by the art of Paul Cézanne, somewhat ironically since the latter is reported to have been quite uncertain of his artistic contributions and anxious about his legacies (Merleau-Ponty, 1945). Picasso described Cézanne as “my one and only master” ; while Matisse noted that “it is undoubtedly to Cézanne that I owe the most” . The Large Bathers was one of two final paintings produced by Cézanne in 1906, the year of his death

Racism is a term that is often used to describe a variety of social, culture and economic problems, but has, unfortunately, acquired “so many contradictory meanings that it takes on the aura of a myth,” it has become increasingly difficult to define . Although the term wasn’t officially featured in the Larousse Dictionary until 1932, racism had been a dark cloud hanging over the global horizon for centuries (de Benoist, 1999). Whenever there are people of different cultural and social characteristics

The theory was originally developed to understand the psychological basis of intergroup discrimination.

seems to be no room left for astonishment. What I find so special about this beautiful painting is the technique and the artist’s vision of the scenery. Even though the second half of the 19th century was the time of rebelliousness in the art world, Henri Matisse managed to find his own niche and create his own style of painting. While “Still Life with Oranges II” appears as a primitive piece of work that neglects canonic rules of proportion, shade and volume, it opens doors to the personal world of

Although Marie Curie was not the first woman to excel in science or mathematics, she can be considered the first major woman scientist to receive full credit for her scientific work. Considering her Nobel prizes alone, she is ranked at the top of the scientists of the modern period. Despite this, somehow Marie Curie’s popular images, as well as those embedded in some of the scholarly literature, suggest important, but rather modest contributions to society (Pycior, 301). Marie Curie was born Maria

Henri Matisse was mostly known for his use in color. Although he was a French artist Matisse was influenced by many cultures. The idea of Fauvism was created by Matisse that soon made his work famous, and influential for many artists to come. One of his first drawings in the early twentieth century developed this term called fauvism; Harmony in Red. In each piece of his work he used such vibrant colors to help draw attention to this new idea of fauvism. These vibrant colors, and large brush strokes

These days it seems like you can’t escape the all-seeing eye of PC culture. Every poorly worded joke or inconsiderate prank about race can lead to a person’s whole life being destroyed by woke twitter. Yet, a small made for TV movie known as Windy City Heat has managed to walk on by, unscathed by the wrath of PC culture. By stereotyping almost every minority group, Windy City Heat is arguably one of the most offensive films ever made, yet I found it amusing, hilarious, and a little enlightening.

The painting is considered one of the first ever Fauvist works, and was displayed at the Salon d’Automne in Paris, an exhibit which defined the movement. Matisse was a French artist who had actually worked in several mediums, but was most famous for his paintings. He was born in Le Cateau-Cambresis, Northern France, in 1869. He first

This formal and historical art analysis will define the color, composition, line, and values of the revolutionary modernist painting “The Rose Marble Table” (1917) by Henri Matisse. Matisse utilizes a modernist approach to this painting by presenting a minimalist approach to the placement of the rose and the table, which presents a very basic color scheme. The strong lines of the painting define the simplistic presentation of a sculptured object of beauty, which is nestled in various flora at the
