The oddly satisfying damp smell of watercolors on fresh paper, or the jolt of exhilaration after finishing a week long project is intoxicating like methamphetamine for an artist.

Alone in the house with Mayamma, an old house-keeper, and Baba’s orphaned books after his departure for New York, Devi was engulfed by an awesome loneliness and a wave of uselessness. Her sense of futility overwhelmed her as both the men she had trusted and loved, her father and father-in-law escaped from the “tortured grip of the pain, loneliness and guilt” (84), by dying and her gentle mother-in-law, Parvathiamma by fleeing the house in search of God long before her arrival.

Constructions of Gender and the Treatment of PTSD within the U.S. Military The U.S. military shows a surprising sensitivity and openness to the emotional difficulties of being stationed abroad, especially in a conflict zone, and it is making great efforts towards preventing/easing depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among its members (although it varies by branch).

His favorite subject for these works tended to be young women with long hair, so that he could better employ the use of calligraphic lines that is a distinguishing characteristic of Art Nouveau. Often, the women wore long flowing robes that were sometimes classical in nature, and were surrounded by floral motifs. Later, he would come to use these floral motifs to form halos around the

frequently, is the objective of the artist who created the conceptual piece. Three artists who embody the abstract principles are Joan Mitchell, who was one of the first women expressionist painters who focused on landscape-type portraits, and a successive artist to similar abstract painters such as Mark Tobey, and also preceded by modern sculptor Lynda Benglis who literally “cements” abstract painting concepts into unique dimensional sculptures.

Andy Warhol’s “Campbell’s Soup Can” reflected the typical poster and magazine art found everywhere in modern culture. It emphasized the mechanical reproduction of art, and its hidden beauty, what we often overlook.
