In Socrates’ cave, the chains represented the limitations of human perception. As humans, our reality is restricted by our senses, which we use them to interpret the world around us. All the cave dwellers knew was their experience: being chained and unable to move with only shadows to look at. They assumed that experiences were reality because that was all they knew. By breaking the chains, they were freed from their perceptions and experienced a new reality. The shadows of Socrates’ cave act as

Art is a diverse range of creating oral or visual artworks. Artists can express their emotions and show their imaginative skills on something as simple as a piece of paper. Modern artists include Rene Magritte, August Macke, and Franz Marc, but what about not so modern artists? Artists like Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh existed in the 19th through the 20th centuries where art was a great factor in their everyday lives. The 19th and 20th centuries offered three very distinct styles of painting

Some of them include, Max Ernst, Salvador Dali, and Rene Magritte. While all of these people had a huge impact on the surrealist art movement and the 1920’s, Andre Breton without a doubt gets the most credit. Breton was often referred to as “The Pope of Surrealism”, and defined surrealism as “Psychic automatism

The photo “Statue of Marshal Ney in the Fog” was taken by the famous artist Brassaï in 1932, one year before the publishing of his book “Paris de Nuit”, a collection of night photographies of the French capital, mostly representing empty gardens and streets in the rain and fog. The picture, featured in the collection, is a clear example of his early artistic period, which coincides with his first approach to photography itself. In the scene we can see the main element, a monument representing the

chapter is how the current technology in the forms of photos and videos reproductions of art have changed the way people see and experience it that “the relation between what we see and what we know is never settled” (page 3) that is why painter Magritte commented on this always- present gap between words and seeing in a painting called ‘The key of Dreams’ in 1898 - 19867. She argues that “We never look at just one thing” and “Our vision is continually active, continually moving, continually holding

identity by providing a way for us to speak or write it in one word. If language is a “system of differences” (Culler 57), then giving the same name to multiple concepts would add more confusion to a language by taking away the uniqueness of a sign. Magritte asserts that “a pipe” is not the name for the device in his painting, and I agree with him because calling it a pipe would suggest that it’s the same as any other pipe, even though it’s clearly

Fine Art and Commercial Art With rapid economic growth and improving technologies, many artists are increasingly become interested in commercial art. This trend is mainly influence by the fact that the financial gains in commercial art are much greater than in fine art. Since the designers are instructed on what to do by their clients, their level of creativity and ingenuity is minimized. This is partially attributed to the fact that many people have misunderstood the true meaning of fine art. However

because he thought life would still be the same even if he was in a different area. These brief examples show that Meursault is ignoring the social critique. All of his actions are related to Clairvoyance, a surrealist art by René Magritte. In the painting, René Magritte predicted the future of the egg onto a canvas and in The Stranger, Meursault 's actions lead us to predict that things weren’t going to go great for him within the end of the first part. Unlike the Existentialist model, the Aristotle

The DADA art movement was an anti- art/anti-war political movement against war (WWI). World War I caused over 6.6 million civilian and military deaths (World war I by the Numbers, 2015) and this upset many people. Artist’s decided to react and protest using their talent starting what we know as the DADA art movement.The movement began in the 1916 in Zurich, Switzerland connecting art to the social conditions of what was going on in the world. Dadaist felt the battle over the land resources and power
