difference lies with a horrendous injury in her bed while she paints a soon to be iconic piece. Who is this woman who intimates even the most hyper-masculine man of the early 20th century? Kahlo’s fiery and rebellious spirit shows not only in her paintings but in the trailblazing role that she has on today’s society. Kahlo, while an iconic artist, was also a strong advocate for women, the disabled, and the LGBT community. A Frida Kahlo's art is more than just a set of beautiful and unique…

Following a young man’s journey through seduction, moral corruption, and eventual demise, Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray is considered to be one of the best known homoerotic novels ever written.

By including homosexual subtext, Wilde promotes…

With religion and personal emotion being expressed, Rembrandt’s The Three Trees has more to offer than a simple Dutch landscape. The three trees are the main attraction of this piece and convey a religious message inspired by Rembrandt’s environment. Rembrandt relies on a unique method of creating dramatic lighting to subtly express his feelings and direct the viewer’s eye within the piece. What is most interesting about this etching is how humans are used in this piece, the human figures in the…

The bar had different types of alcoholic drinks that I never heard of before and plenty of novelties such, four leaf clovers and Guinness glasses. Covering the walls were numerous pictures of customers, relatives related to the employees, family portraits, and other familial pictures.
