form. For example, Braque said of Cubism ‘what most attracted me and what was the governing principle of Cubism, was the materialisation of this new space which I sensed.’ The art movement of Cubism was in fact sparked by the idea of exploring a new anti naturalistic space which can be seen to be developed and refined throughout the phases of cubism.

Another example, in California, a capitated program (set price per person) named STRIDES (Steps Towards Recovery, Independence, Dignity, Empowerment, and Success), is a close replica to the ACTS model. There is a low caseloads, 24 hour availability, weekly meetings, and medication monitoring. In addition, there are substance abuse counselors and employment specialists available to clients (Chandler, Spicer, Wagner, & Hargreaves, 1999). Chandler et al., 1999, conducted a study of 60…

Some artists set out to challenge their audience through a subversion of artistic conventions and an innovative approach to their artmaking decisions and actions. Two such visionaries are the conceptual artists Marcel Duchamp and Antony Gormley who have successfully experimented with both the form and philosophy of art. Marcel duchamp defied the traditionalist movement, through challenging the conventional styles which have been around for centuries. Nevertheless, becoming the founding father of…

There is an unspoken rule in this world that a piece of art created by a Pablo Picasso is automatically worth more than the paint and parchment…

There has been great debate over the difference between the surrealist and the avant-garde, and whether or not they are simply different branches of the same movement, that surrealism is just a romanticised extension of the avant-garde.
