Hook Main characters (list characters) are going through a hard time, and it is love and friendship that helps them get through these times. David Benioff, Elena Dunkle, Rene Magritte, and Taylor Swift, authors of City of Thieves, Elena Vanishing, “The Lovers”, and “You Belong With Me” all use detail to better understand the ideas of friendship and love when people are going through hard times.

The bowler hat has been a part of visual culture ever since it was designed and created during the reign of Queen Victoria in 1849 for Edward Coke, a British soldier and politician. Since then the bowler hat has become symbolic in visual and popular culture, being featured in books, films and logos, as well as being used within politics in order to relate to other classes, as well as bypassing gender stereotypes. These hats were originally used as head protection for gamekeepers as their previous

order to create new, contemporary pieces and ideas. In the lecture for Modernism, the piece that made me think the most was Rene Magritte’s The Rape. This piece shows a women's portrait with her face missing and a female body shown as the face. Rene Magritte created this piece in reaction

people that they know what is going on and to show the world that they do have a voice and they need to be noticed. One of the paintings that contribute to the ideal of surrealism unbridling people’s imagination would be “This is Not a Pipe” by Rene Magritte. This painting shows a pipe and underneath is the words “Ceci n’est pas une pipe.” which means this is not a pipe.

“The mind loves the unknown. It loves images whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown.” - Rene Magritte, Belgian surrealist artist. Magritte epitomizes my enthrallment with the brain in his 1970 reference to the mystery of the mind. Deeply interested in the complexities of the nervous system, I first began my studies as an undergraduate neuroscience major. Through classes taught by neurologists, neuroscientists, and neuroanatomists, as well as involvement in neurodegenerative

The French phrase “Trompe l’oiel” means “To deceive the eye” in English. A famous work of art that uses trompe l’oiel is the work of Rene Magritte, “The Treachery of Images”.

The artwork I will introduce and compare to the pervious artwork is called “The Listening Room” or La chamber d’écoute on oil on canvas by René Magritte in 1952. Magritte was one of friends that I mentioned earlier that helped influence Salvador Dali to paint the theme of Surrealism and stick with it. The two artworks have some similarities and differences, but they have the same art theme. The first similarity
