Abstraction

John Donne’s “Death Be Not Proud” and Anne Finch’s “To Death” personify the abstraction of death through their manipulation of apostrophe and figurative language. Their vivid descriptions extend beyond a mere conversation with death, revealing their inner thoughts toward the inevitable demise of every human. Though examining the same theme, Donne and Finch develop vastly different tones. Donne’s tone of defiance juxtaposes Finch’s tone of resignation, cultivating these through the use of…

Architecture students (or for that, matter professionals), generally marvel at Form simply because of its direct visual and tactile nature experienced through their (and our own) baser sensory perception.

The inner eye and the imagination is the priority of symbolism by allowing the unseen to be seen. It is close to abstraction throughout the use of form and contour. It was Academic painters who first explored symbolism, notably Gustave Moreau and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. Moreau painted opulent and mysterious biblical and classical scenes. Puvis de Chavannes developed more restrained poetic motifs. However, the most important artist to advance Symbolism was the sculptor Auguste Rodin. His major…
