Self Portrait Of Eugene Jackson

Decent Essays
I think that painting is pretty awkward because of all the people behind him just having no clothes and I just realized that I have almost never seen any self portrait that has a gruoup of people as the background. So i think my painting is pretty unique in a way. I also find Eugene jackson’s clothes weird because he in a suit which is normal but he is wearing a suit with sandals unusual.. To me this painting does not have a motive like some are because the painters is depressed but this painting was just because he was in the vitalism movement(This movement focused on the human body health) Overall i think this self portrait is awkward and unusual but thats why I like it.

    As the seventh president of the United States, Andrew Jackson is arguably one of the most imposing figures in United States history and historians regularly debate whether or not Jackson was one of the best U.S. presidents to date. Founder of the Democratic Party, only president to entirely eliminate the United States National Debt, and was involved in over 100 duels in his lifetime, Jackson definitely left behind an interesting legacy for historians to study and research for years to come. Unfortunately, despite his success throughout his career, Jackson’s legacy continues to be shrouded with the controversy of his decision to sign the Indian Removal Act of 1830, a decision which lead to the death of over 10,000 Native American Indians.

    For the slaves, the period of expansion west and south did not strengthen their possession of independence, but it did illuminate some cracks in the system that could be exploited. These cracks ultimately positioned the slaves in reach of freedom. Individualism, which is the idea that each person is the actor and the purpose of society, was the device that initially benefited only white men, but eventually benefited the slaves. This term was coined in the United States to empower a larger portion of white men, to stimulate these men to vote and helped to solidify a two political party system in our country. Andrew Jackson needed to displace the Indians to make more land available to expand slavery in the south, while the free blacks, former slaves, and other abolitionists fought for their democratic rights in the north.…

    The Scream Poem Analysis

    “The Scream” I really like this painting because somehow it involves mystery and insecurity and to my eyes, the rare views in it reflect a sense of how deep the feelings and thoughts of a person can be. In addition, the fact that the composition does not allow viewers to appreciate the face of the screaming person, is what has drawn me to it. Even though it seems to be that it was a lovely afternoon for everyone, it seems that it was not for the scared looking person. Although two boats are seen on the lake and two people walking very pleasingly behind, the scared looking person seems to be astonished and perhaps confused toward something. Hence, looking at this mysterious individual posing his hands on his face with his mouth open has given me the impression that he or she is appreciating something non real that no one else is able to notice; no one but him.…
