    Still, these depictions of Cassatt, despite having her personal disapproval, were not entirely inaccurate. Caught between an opportunity for a public life and the backlash that would result of being a public, unmarried working upper class woman, Cassatt often had images that included women in public with senses of judiciousness and trepidation. For example, in the painting In the Omnibus (Color Print. 1891; Figure 8), Cassatt contrasts the differences between the guarded, middle class woman who seems nervous over getting caught doing something this unfashionable against a working class woman and her child who is blissfully evading that social parameter. This painting, therefore, can be read and appreciated by multiple audiences once more.…

    On July 7, 1865, Mary Surratt walked to her death. Because of her supposed involvement in Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, Mary was sentenced to death by hanging (Kingseed). Mary transferred binoculars and shooting irons to her tavern for Booth, lied to the authorities claiming to not know Lewis Powell, and her son, John H. Surratt Jr., was a confederate spy and was suspected of helping with the president’s assassination. This evidence was enough for Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, the official in charge of locating and capturing Lincoln’s killer and conspirators, to condemn Mary Surratt to death. There have been many arguments and opinions over the years about whether or not Mary’s sentence was justified.…

    Although this thesis is still being revised, it states: Dario Fo had political and social triggers that led him down the path to creating a more modern—and revolutionary—giullare storytelling style that is comprehensible to masses around the world. I chose my focus(es) for multiple reasons. The first is that I need to understand why he revised biblical stories and, specifically, “Mary Under the Cross”. I believe if I understand why he chose it politically and socially, I can connect to it as well and create a better final product. Additionally, it is essential that I comprehend how it was revised by Fo and—hopefully—it will be helpful to my work on the scene.…

    In the first video with Kathrina Grosse we see her utilize her surroundings, and make our perspective on the landscape around more fluid with the hierarchy or painting. Grosse uses a creative technique in the context of boat building. She uses these techniques to make monumental abstract sculptures at the Brooklyn metrotech plaza What makes her subject matter different than the others is she sees a bigger picture in literal terms, as in she takes boat building mechanics and how to make a painting appear in space. Her visualization of the objects she paints on are going to be a bit more variated and with sporadic waves of color. When we see her in the Nasher sculpture center in Dallas we get a better look at how she uses color.…

    is Mary Surratt. She and other individuals were involved in John Wilkes Booth’s “elaborate plot to completely disrupt the union government by killing President Abraham Lincoln, Vice President Andrew Johnson, and Secretary of State William Seward.” (Blattman p. 1) It was believed that Mary Surratt was the main person behind the plot, but I think she had no choice in the matter. Her sons were in battles and feeding information back to Booth, so maybe she just wanted to protect them more than herself.…

    The idea of publishing The History of Mary Prince came initially from herself. Prince aspired for her story to be told from her own mouth, so that “the good people in England might hear from a slave what a slave had felt and suffered” making sure to include the most heartbreaking and gruesome details (55). Her narrative was the first account of a black woman’s life to be published in Britain, debuting during a time when slavery was still legal. Prince writes to disprove the justification that many slave owners had for their actions: that slaves were with no wish to be free. This book had such an immense effect on Britain because it was written by a former slave, disproving the idea that slaves were not human or could not survive being free,…
